In the current implementation, which could change at any point including via APAR, since the IEASYMBM service runs in user state and key, the symbols are in non-fetch protected storage. They happen to be in key 0. They happen to be in common storage. Since they're created before CSA is available, they are in SQA. They happen to be in subpool 245. None of this should be of relevance and none of this is to be considered a programming interface. You must not change anything, and you are expected to use the system service to utilize them. >System Symbolics in the IPA >CVT X'8C' -> ECVT -> X'188' -> IPA This is not correct. System symbolics are not in the IPA. They are located via field ECVTSYMT. In the IPA you can locate the specificatio of which parmlib members were used to build the system symbol table during IPL.
