An exclusive write no-data-saved (EN) DCSS will work. But if you need more variability in the size of the segment (i.e. some users need bigger segments) or its address, then I suggest looking at VM Dataspaces. You will need to learn about access registers and the use of the ADRSPACE macro in an XC mode virtual machine. See the CP Programming Services book. (If the data needs to be written to disk, then the CP MAPMDISK macro is available.) I now understand that your table is simply a cache for data you generate dynamically rather that static data tables resident in the program. That's a horse of a different color.
