I don't believer that Dataspaces and hiperspaces normally exist past the end-of-step. They are like memory. Because they are memory. You can't pass them between steps or between processes. Well, not using normal z/OS non-APF functionality. You can use a LINEAR VSAM dataset and "map" it using DIV into a dataspace or a hiperspace. You can then pass that LINEAR dataset to some other process. Which needs to use DIV to use it as memory. Example code for dataspace: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2a580/6.16 Example code for hiperspace http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2a580/7.13.1.1 Remember that a hiperspace is accessed by copying data into & out of it in 4K chunks. A dataspace can be referenced at a byte level using normal assembler instructions when in AR mode. The access register "points to" the dataspace.
