Page service list (PSL)

The page service list provides the basic input to the page service functions of the PGSER macro with the exception of the BRANCH=SPECIAL option. Each entry in the list specifies a range of addresses to be processed, or specifies the address of the next list entry to be processed, or is null. The first entry also indicates the paging service that is to be performed on all the ranges specified in the list.

The PSL has the following characteristics:
  • The list must be in non-pageable storage.
  • The PSL is not required to be on a word boundary.
  • All addresses specified are 31-bit addresses.

For a description of the PSL, see z/OS MVS Data Areas in the z/OS Internet library.
