>Use IARST64 to request 64-bit Storage Services. You made one heck of a leap to take this sentence to mean more than it says. But IARST64 does not, as you thought, have anything directly to do with cell pools. But it may be used to obtain the storage for the pool when you invoke IARCP64. The information here probably belongs better in IARCP64.
What kind of guidance would you seek? As with many services, it is "use this service if it does what you want, and does it better in some way than some other service". If you don't need storage in 1M chunks and don't want to sub-manage 1M chunks, then IARST64 might be what works easiest for an application for above-2G storage. It's simply the difference between doing a STORAGE OBTAIN for the amount you need (or something close to it) and having to get 1M whether you want that much or not (and sub-managing if you want to deal with smaller chunks). If you have specific things to request added to the Assembler Services Guide, then please identify what and where. "Is not referenced" is an observation, but many services similarly are not referenced and have no need to be.
