I have an assembler module that reads files and needs storage below the 16M line to store the DCB an DCBE. Previously I allocated this storage using a STORAGE macro. Because the module is always invoked by COBOL programs I figured I could also use LE services to allocate this storage. If I code a CEEV#GTS call to allocate this storage on LE's CEEEDBBEHP (LE Below Heap) I get occasional U4038 abends with a CEE0802C (Heap storage control information was damaged) when I try to free the allocated storage with a CEEV#FRS call even though the control information seems to be ok.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong: should I just not meddle with the LE's Below Heap (CEEEDBBEHP)? If I use a CEEVGTSB (Get Storage Below) call to allocate the memory on the User Heap (with heap id 0) I'm also able get storage below the line. This storage can be freed without any problems. Is the the only viable route to have LE allocate storage below the line? thanks for any input, Fred! ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
