>If there is a job with 200+ steps. Is it better to have region coded at the >JOBCARD level or the STEP Level?
Actually, while I still recommend using region at the job card level, in your particular case it will narrow the step that caused the fragmentation. Assuming you use checkregionloss and did NOT have a fragmented init when the job started. (Also assuming that the 822 is reproducible for *this* job.) I also strongly urge you to investigate the 822 *before* giving the job a region of 0M and removing individual region sizes. You might end up with abend878 -10 or -C or abend80A in steps after the IEFBR14 step. Unequivocally setting region=0M is covering up a problem that might hit you very hard when you can least afford it.
