Maybe so.... From the z/OS 1.11 preview:
"In z/OS V1.11, support is added for data tables contained in load
modules and program objects to be placed above 2 GB. A new ADDR64
parameter on the LOAD macro supports loading load modules and program
objects containing only data tables above the bar. This function is
intended to help relieve virtual storage constraints by allowing data
tables to be loaded above the bar."

I missed that. About half of the code I'm looking at consists of tables,
with imbedded addresses that point back and forth within the table,
forming various tree structures. Since much of the actual table access
is via Assembler routines, this along might give me a greatly-needed
constraint relief. I'll have to rethink the addressing scheme for moving
around within the tables, since I doubt that anything would actually go
through relocation. At least I have the most important element: TIME!
That one reply about the theological place of eternal damnation: isn't
that rather like climbing the inside of a working blast furnace without
getting your eyebrows singed? :-)
