-- Well, that probably leaves out shared segments. I was under the impression that all users would be sharing the same data; I actually worked on an application like this decades ago, unfortunately don't remember many details other than it could be done. "Will I need to define a Segment for each user or when PGMA is invoked will it get its own unique area of storage to load the table? My thinking is that it will not get a unique chunk of storage for each user. If this is the case, shared segments is not an option." -- I would think you would need a shared segment for each table; this way, more than one user could use the same table. The segment addresses could overlap if each user uses only one table; otherwise the shared segments will all have to be at different addresses to allow multiple tables to be loaded as needed. -- Are these static tables (e.g., used for data lookup), or will they be updated?

In doing this I think I will also have to make the users virtual machine size larger than 16meg, right? The other thought has been to use Shared Segments. I need some clarification on this technique. The program involved (let's call it PGMA) can be invoked by multiple users at the same time. The table will probably contain different data for each user depending on what they are trying to. Will I need to define a Segment for each user or when PGMA is invoked will it get its own unique area of storage to load the table? My thinking is that it will not get a unique chunk of storage for each user. If this is the case, shared segments is not an option. Could someone explain this? Please and thank you. Steve
