On 40TB main memory now, so only 20,480 x since 1999 intro of 64 in 24 years. Of course ¿ESA? did create access registers that point to 4K pages instead of bytes, so 8/16 TB was possible. On Tue, Aug 1, 2023, 14:54 Steve Thompson wrote: > How about we change from Mainframe to zFrame? > > Yeah,

I think most pre- semiconductor memory including core memory in S/360 was destructive reads with hardware rewiting the store, so you can certainly understand using move, not to mention C for Compare instructions had few alternatives. On Tue, Aug 1, 2023, 10:51 Seymour J Metz wrote: > The term

YEP. management did not want to reorg a DB2 dataset with 100 extents. Did a batch update that failed when the 123rd extent filled. No more updates until reorg was completed, about 1995. On Fri, Jul 28, 2023, 12:08 Wendell Lovewell < 01e9c0ee0673-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: >
