The Monitor Call interface remains undocumented in z/OS V2.1, and there
are currently no plans to document it. The macro for invoking the
services is

But that "K=1024" usage was ONLY because in the context of Assembler
coding you were dealing with processor memory addresses in hardware
instructions, and memory on the S/360 (and its successors) was addressed
by binary values of 24 bits (later 31 bits). So the S/360 PoOp and ASM
manuals, only

When you build a memory chip, the input is X number of address bits,
and you have to return 2 ** X number of unique storage bytes. If the
next chip will allow 1 more bit, you have to hold twice as many
storage locations. So memory chips *MUST* be a multiple of 2.
Examples are 10 address bits, 1,0
Shmuel,

The problem is the number of people/processes/procedures arr dependent on the

The only "plus" that I know of in starting a programmer's jobs with their
TSO id is the fact that the SDSF "H" display defaults to only displaying
jobs with those types of names. This avoids the need for a PREFIX command
or a FILTER. Now, since I don't do this job name stuff, I must remember to

Hi all,
Does anyone know what the "required parameters" are for the INIT call of

The documentation (IMS System Programming APIs Reference, chapter 9) only

In addition to the required parameters of INIT PAPL, the optional
parameters include:
Is there any chance that the Monitor Call interface in z/OS will be documented
and GUPI in z/OS V2.1? If not, then when (approximately)?
Similar questions: Will the TRAP2/4 hardware mechanism have a documented and
