As John Ehrman very recently pointed out here, expressions, e.g., SIZE(MAX-2M)
may be used is specifying SIZE values. It would, I think, be more appropriate to make this facility better known and encourage its use than it would be to change the traditional behavior of MAX under the covers. Making such a change will certainly produce more ABENDs than result from its current, occasionally greedy behavior. John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
