LFAREA in z/OS 2.3

2021-03-26 Thread Crawford, Robert C.
According to the documentation, after z/OS 2.3 the LFAREA parameter no longer reserves real memory for large frames at IPL. Instead, it's a limit on the number of fixed 1M frames. Since it's now a limit is there any harm in leaving LFAREA too high as long as you keep an eye on large fixed fram
