My initial guess is "how do I determine the maximum amount of contiguous storage left in the address space? That is, how many bytes can I request in a single STORAGE OBTAIN and still have it succeed?" In this latter case, just do a conditional variable GETMAIN with the theoretical maximum possible size (i.e. in 24-bit, ask for 16meg, in 31-bit, ask for 2G, in 64-bit, ask for In the past, if I want an idea about storage fragmentation, I use VSMLIST: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2A4A0/28.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
