Assume that the following:

Offset of ADR1 = X'200'
Content of ADR1 = address of CL32'X...X'
Bill,
ADR1 is based on some register and offset in your program. Let's pretend
it is R3, and is 4 bytes off of R3.
So, being that, the instructions looks like this:
L R10,4(,R3)
MVC ZON,0(R10)
By rewriting the instructions, you get this:

Yes, MAXPROCUSER limits the number of concurrent processes per

Don't increase MAXPROCUSER to an unreasonable value just because
one server needs a large nummber of processes. Use the PROCUSERMAX
attribute in that userid's OMVS segment.
