Hi list, I'm looking for a pair of virtual eyes to help me with a problem that is perplexing about 4 of us here. We're running z/OS 1.11 and are attempting to upgrade to 1.13. Here's the scenario: we have an ancient version of something called quikjob which is a report writer. Due to some

R3 seems to be being loaded with the virtual address of the PCCA. 520 (208) ADDRESS 4 PSAPCCAV - VIRTUAL ADDRESS OF PCCA Does anyone know if that moved from below to above the line in 1.13? As of z/OS 1.12, when there is more than one CPU, the LCCA and PCCA are above 16M by default.

Who'd have thought that the number of CPUs online would affect the default virtual location of LCCA and PCCA? Sometime there are reall funny costructs. However there sure must be a good reason for this since code had to be written to handle it. -- Peter Hunkeler

Any chance this code is running the PCCA/LCCA chain? The default was CBLOC VIRTUAL24 in V1.11 and is CBLOC VIRTUAL31 in V1.13. Maybe you need to set the CBLOC VIRTUAL24(IHAPCCA,IHALCCA) in your DIAGxx member. Hi list, I'm looking for a pair of virtual eyes to help me with a problem that is

Who'd have thought that the number of CPUs online would affect the default virtual location of LCCA and PCCA? I can't remember the problem that bit me, but I learned a long time ago to have at least 2 CPs and also REAL storage above the line (if possible) in my sandbox. It's very low weight

From this it seems reasonable to conclude that the OP's TEST system is single-engine while his PROD system is multi-engine. It seems less reasonable to conclude that he coded CBLOC VIRTUAL24 in DIAGxx on his TEST system but not on his PROD system. Who'd have thought that the number of
