Re: Address of a PC routine

Take an SVC Dump of the PCAUTH address space using the DUMP operator command and then use IPCS and go into option 2.4 (AnalysisSummary) and then choose Format and scroll down the report until you see the PC routine table listed Note that some of the more well-known IBM PC routine numbers are

Re: Address of a PC routine

What Binyamin is referring to is that CR5 contains the address of the ASTE for the home address space. The ASTE contains all sorts of cross-memory info used by the PCAUTH address space. If you are feeling masochistic you can try hunting down the various pointers and convert addresses between

Re: ECSA Fragmentation reporting

Graham You can easily knock up your own tool using the VSMLIST service if you require real-time results. Most (if not all) commercial MVS monitors would offer a display that shows this sort of information - however I am guessing that you are after something free. Rob Scott Lead Developer

I would imagine that the owner of the module bound with EDIT=NO was doing for security/integrity reasons - they most likely do not want anyone to re-link the module and interfere with the order/sequencing or replace any of the CSECTs. Rob Scott Lead Developer Rocket Software 275 Grove Street
