An alternative for an MVS GETMAIN would be to fully enable your Assembler program under "Language Environment" or temporarily enable the program under "Language Environment" using the "CEEPIPI" LE Enabling-routine (excludes CICS).

In either case, once the LE environment has been established, you can use the LE Service routine "CEEGTST" (Get Storage) and (as an option) the "CEEFRST" routine (Free Storage).

Regards,

Bill

You can use STORAGE OBTAIN instead of GETMAIN.

See:

Yeah, forgot about that one. icon_redface.gif

STORAGE OBTAIN does expand into a "PC" (Cross Memory Management) as opposed to an SVC (IE: GETMAIN) and has many different options.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.... icon_wink.gif
