So make it really, really big - 9999E, for example. :-) Or you could use TRACK or DISPLAY HOST to look at the VMDBK.

The only thing I could think of was CP DEFINE STORAGE <reallybignumber> and seeing if it fails. Of course, that carries a risk: if you happen to hit a value that *is* allowed, you get to reIPL. Is there another way? QUERY VIRTUAL STORAGE MAX or something would seem like a reasonable extension... ...phsiii
