CICS does not support "above the bar" storage. As I recall the original question it was how to load a large VSAM file into memory above the bar because if loaded into CICS DSA, the region went SOS. Most people there said to rearchitecture the application to use some other, supported, method. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
