I will not support EAV disk emulation.

We did this, too, in our site-specific standard start-and-end-macro. So odd addresses in the RET field in the save areas show that the active save area is above this position (in forward direction). But this is kind of redundant, if you have reg 13. But sometimes, when debugging, you are happy

I stand corrected. We must have been on V8 long enough for V7 64-bit-backed to mind-morph into 64-bit-addressable. The net effect as you mention was that by using one or more dataspaces for buffer pools, DB2 V7 was no longer bound by the 2GiB limit for total virtual space or total real storage

As an emulation, would you not be able to see the encrypted values for the minor subset of values that you will produce? In other words, you do not need all possible values - just those that your emulation will produce. You need subset of about 4,000,000,000 numbers. Each CCCH must have a
