I think Don's point may be that you don't really have 12M. You did at one time, but the initiator address space has become fragmented and cluttered.
The way to test that is to run with a 'fresh' initiator. Saw this all the time in another shop. Recycling initiators was a standard operations response to an 822. Some jobs were so bad that they had to be the very first scheduled in to a specific initiator. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Arnett Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 2:19 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Region size question I think you are missing the point of the post. The available region size in the system is 12M. I executed a job step with REGION=15M, expecting the USI limits(set to 12M) to be honored. It does not appear that the initiator even pays attention to the USI limits when dispatching the job step. Imbriale, Donald (Exchange) wrote: >Maybe the initiator is trashed.
