In our case we have an EXEC that set up a GUEST region (OS) with a requested store. If we just believe the requestor, and the amount they request is too large, we loose control. So, we try to validate the request before we action it.
On 32bit VM we used to define 2047M (more than that gave a different message) but now, on 64 bit Z/VM, we define 9999M as we are unlikely to have a user larger than that. However, I do agree with Greg that 16E is probably the best option. Colin Allinson Amadeus Data Processing
