All: I have a storage related question. I need a running program (STC) to allocate a piece of storage that has persistence. By this I mean when the STC shutdowns the storage is still there and available. The storage is an area we want to use to store Global options for some of our code running. I understand I can use the ECVT but we are trying to have the STC start and based on control parameters store global variables for use in other programs later, in this case an exit. I want to make sure the Global storage is protected and can not be overriden. I know there is no guarantees but I want to be 95% sure.
Does this mean I place a IEANTCR token pointing to a piece of storage in SP 229,230, 249 and then do an 'Storage Obtain' for the required storage and populate it. This where I am a tad confused, its not the concerns its the technique i need to understand. Can someone be so kind as to help me out with a bit of an explanation or is there a better way ? I had thought of a Dataspace but persistence is an issue and the STC is written in Cobol...So i can use hiperspaces unless I write a routine to go from 31bit to 64bit and additionally I am not sure if I can use 64bit storage in an exit. -- *IDMWORKS * Scott Ford z/OS Dev. “By elevating a friend or Collegue you elevate yourself, by demeaning a friend or collegue you demean yourself” www.idmworks.com scott.f...@idmworks.com Blog: www.idmworks.com/blog *The information contained in this email message and any attachment may be privileged, confidential, proprietary or otherwise protected from disclosure.
