location-start-address
An expression specifying the storage start address.

If the expression contains an Access Register then the storage that is modified is in the dataspace identified by the ALET in the referenced Access Register.

The SET LOCATION command lets you modify storage within your program's defined limits. If the TRACEALL or RISK option is ON, you may be able to modify storage beyond the defined limits.

For more details on your program's defined limits and how to change them, see (for CMS) Your program's defined limits, (for z/OS®) Your program's defined limits and (for z/VSE®) Your program's defined limits.
