Thanks for all of your responses,, we going to use a region size of 1024M for most of our batch,, the exception being the SAS which or sysprogs want us to leave running with 0M. I think we still may be at risk, but it's not my call. On 12/04/06, andy corpes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All,

Hi All, We are having discisisons regarding an optimal region size for our standard batch processing. Currently, we use region=0M for all of our batch jobs without any noticeable problems. Is this subparm useful anymore? it would appear that our system does not care too much, but i am concerned

've lost track of the times I've told people why 0M is a bad idea for a server-type program, and in general is a bad idea. IBM has shipped 0M for 'server-types', for years. VTAM, NETVIEW, IMS, DB2, MQ-Series, to name a few. I don't have a problem with that. Where I have a problem is with

I have a SAF call in IEFUSI, you get over 256M if you DESERVE it. I think you can address the under 16M vs. 0M limit in IEFUSI as well, I think you could set the region size to a suitable value less than GDAPVTSZ. -Original Message- snip I don't have a problem with that. Where I
