Last time I noticed something like this, we put it down to "early starters". Online regions not getting used overnight, wound up getting (heavily) trimmed. First arrival in the morning whacks the "Enter" key and (probably) strolls off to get a coffee. Different office, similar scenario, but hitting

John, Take a look at APAR OW55297 on IBMLINK. It has a high-level description of what you're seeing on the Page Datasets. It also has references to other manuals. I printed the 1st block for a couple of my Page Datasets ( they were formatted by a z/OS R4 system and are being used by active z/OS

Have anyone used the long-displacement facility instructions (as in consistently do so to reduce base register usage) ? Are there any pitfalls or limitations that a relatively inexperienced programmer should be aware of ? Btw, why is there no "MVCY" instruction ? Is it because of the existence of

Greg, Thanks but I wasn't explicit enough in what I was asking for. The issue is that the exit is called with a structured parameter list (R1->list of parm addresses which each point to a parameter) not a JCL parm field. The exit is really a subfunction so the normal C argc/argv isn't right. Ri

Thomas, We have used the long-displacement instructions to allow for the generation of additional "compiled" code over the short-displacement instructions, if the machine environment supports them, removing the old size limitations of +/- 64K. It was really not all that difficult to implement

Jon, You do have some control over HSA size using the "Max number of devices" parameter in the IODF. However, from what I noticed, this makes very little change, even when decreased by tens of thousands.. It seems the "base" HSA size for the machine is what makes the big difference -- we noticed
