Mark, thanks for chiming in - I'm glad I held off. I should probably not have to ask this, but programming IEFUSI to reserve ELSQA was something ingrained long ago, and I just took it for granted. So, it's not what the REGION is, it's what is GETMAIN'd in total during execution? I ask because we recently decided to bump the ELSQA reserve for our CICS regions, but in light of this, I don't see any benefit. I know CICS manages its own memory (DSA/EDSA), though I'm not as familiar with *how*. Interesting how different this is from below-the-line... By the way, I had an ETR discussion quite some time ago with IBM (I may be able to find it in my archives), in which I recall we're not supposed to alter LDA. In fact, that's what I use to obtain available REGION. I thought about using GDA, but do not recall why the rep steered me away from it... Though LDAESIZ will not completely protect against EPRIVAT and ELSQA running into each other, we do use it to try to buffer against the large VL GETMAIN. Do you do this, or is it "let the user beware"? Just curious here...
