Short page service list (SSL)

The short page service list provides the basic input to the PGSER macro with the BRANCH=SPECIAL option. The list contains entries for the 31-bit starting and 31-bit ending addresses of the virtual area to be fixed or freed.

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

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