REGIONX parameter

Parameter type

Keyword, optional

Purpose

Use the REGIONX parameter to specify the amount of central or virtual storage that the step requires below and above the 16 MB line.

The amount of storage that you request must be enough to accommodate the following:
  • Storage for all programs in the step to run.
  • All additional storage that the programs in the step request with GETMAIN, STORAGE, and CPOOL macro instructions.
  • Enough unallocated storage for task initialization and termination. Task initialization and termination can issue GETMAIN macro instructions for storage in the user's address space.
