Assuming you can not recompile, and assuming the QSAM buffers are taking a large amount of your region, and assuming your DCBs are not doing LOCATE mode processing... There are several products on the market that can intercept the OPEN and dynamically place your QSAM/VSAM buffers above the 16mb

I would STRONGLY consider reducing the number of buffers and take the chance that the performance is perhaps less than ideal rather than watch the job ABEND. ABENDs are not considered better performance. On Wed, 9 Nov 2005 14:43:56 -0600, Hal Merritt wrote: Reducing block sizes can be *very*
