Hi Jerry, "Did you check out the Telnet Solicitor." If this is the Telnet Solicitor which sits in front of z/OS and which is arrived at via the standard Port 23 I would not advocate using it unless there was a restricted concurrent user population, or it had been improved since my first ADCD at

Kenneth, VSM will not allocate "normal" storage from LSQA. REGION=0M sets the highest useable User Region address to the 2GB boundary (see the LDA), but when the User Region top actually hits the bottom of the LSQA storage, you stand to get an 878-10 type abend. I have seen it happen in many JV
