Hi, the field in the RACF OMVS segment is "ASSIZEMAX". It has to be seen together with the BPXPRMxx symbol MAXASSIZE. Check the Unix System Services Planning Guide, chapter 3.6.3.3 for details. These max-values are among others which I call hard limits. In addition, Unix processes may obtain corresponding soft limits, for example from the /bin/ulimit command or the BPX1SRL callable service. The soft limits can be used to change certain limits to higher or lower values than the hard limits, again check the Unix Planning Guide, chapter 18.15. So, setting BPXPRMxx and RACF OMVS segment is only one part of the story. In addition, one should have a look for example into the profile file concatenation in HFS for calls to the /bin/ulimit program.

The OMVS options display shows that the parm has been reset, but one of our LPARs shows (through the help of rexx routine and getrlimit) that the Max AS is 825M. What parameter/resource would limit getting the new value? Trying to keep question simple without relaying every setting we have, other than our IEFUSI is a stub, because we have noticed in other questions and apars that has caused some problems with MAXASSIZE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
