We skipped 1.5, but I implemented this as we rolled out z/OS 1.6 on each system. It is done via VSM CHECKREGIONLOSS(below,above) setting in DIAGxx and works with both JES2 initiators and intitiators managed by JES3, WLM and APPC. For example, my DIAGxx looks like this: VSM TRACK CSA(ON) SQA(ON) VSM TRACE GETFREE(OFF) VSM CHECKREGIONLOSS(300K,10M) Prior to this we had automation code that recycled INITs whenever a job abended. Back when we had JES2 managed INITs we also recycled them on a time scheduled basis several times a day. Thanks again to Jim Mulder for implementing this to "fix" a problem that has been around longer than I have been doing sysetm's programming.
