Something you could also add in DIAGxx is VSM CHECKREGIONLOSS(256K,100M) with numbers related to your shop RTM. This will recycle wlm and jes2 inits when the region available is less than the amount specified. It will not help this job per say, but would recycle the init afterwards to cleanup

Thanks to all who replied. Yes, at 1am in the morning I was not truly as clear headed as I could have been, and the size of IEFBR14 is not the issue. Most likely the problem is going to be storage fragmentation for below the line. Barbara's answer of using 0M for the region on that step will be

As one of the other posters recommended. USE VSMCHECKREGIONLOSS in DIAGxx. I checks for fragmentation and automatically drains/restarts the initiatior thus, you do not have to review the dump. HTH, snip Most likely the problem is going to be storage fragmentation for below the line. Barbara's

My understanding is that anything over 16MiB normally results in whatever below is available plus unlimited above. Your understanding is wrong. Anything over 16M does give you everything below, but it limits above. If you specify between 16 and 32, you get 32 in total. Whatever you specify above

Correction, if coding between 16M and 32M the default is 32M, from JCL Reference: If your installation does not change the IBM-supplied default limits in the IEALIMIT or IEFUSI exit routine modules, then specifying various values for the region size has the following results: - A value equal to

Are we missing something here? Didn't R.11 allow IEFBR14 to issue HDELETEs as appropriate? And mightn't that take up some 24-Bit virtual? (In addition to everything others are saying about fragmentation.) Cheers, Martin Martin Packer, Mainframe Performance Consultant, zChampion Worldwide

No! See John Eells' post below. The HDELETE functionalty was added to allocation and is triggered by the recognition of IEFBR14. So, IEFBR14 has not increased in size but the addittional functionality within allocation may well be the culprit. Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 15:58:04 +0100

Didn't R.11 allow IEFBR14 to issue HDELETEs as appropriate? No, that's not quite accurate. IEFBR14 hasn't changed. The HDELETEs are done by some mechanism within the system/initiator. Not to hijack this thread, but (as I've said before) that's a kludge! - I'm a SuperHero with neither powers,

The extended region size is the default value of 32 megabytes. I've obviously misinterpreted that statement then. I always read it as total. But, the major point is that 16M does not give you all above. - I'm a SuperHero with neither powers, nor motivation! Kimota!
