I am running with one problem and in short i will explain .. One program is having 160K occurence table to process data from different input files. Initially it was some 40K limit and data received was near about 140K something and Job abendaid due to that, so i had increased the limit to 200 K but again found abend S878. Later came to know that the max available limit is 167 K something for one table.
The problem is business is saying this increment is only 20% there will be 80% more on that so trying to find out any simple solution that can implement within 1 month.
Ideas on this are most welcome... |

What is your version/release of COBOL?
What did you set your REGION parm at?
200K, causing an S878, sounds suspicious....

The actual limit will vary, depending upon the size of each table element and the version of COBOL you are dealing with. If you're using Enterprise COBOL, 167000 occurrences would translate into a table element length of about 800 bytes.
If you are truly running against a compiler limit, you have one and only one choice: change your design. You cannot, for example, get around the maximum table size set by the compiler -- so your best choice would be to use a file to hold the data you were going to put into the table. But since you've explained very little about what you're doing and the precise problem you're having or even the compiler you're using, there's not much more we can tell you -- give us generic data, we give you generic solutions. |

It is S878-10
10
There is not enough virtual private area storage available to satisfy the request. This is due to one of the following:
A program is requesting virtual storage, but not subsequently freeing the storage.
The region size specified is too small.
An installation exit is requesting virtual storage from a V=R region before initialization of the region has completed. |

| Perhaps you can show us some code? Like the table definition, how you are using it. In the Code tags, please. |

Are these files fixed-length VSAM KSDS or ESDS?

gentlemen,
you misinterpret the question.
the TS has no intention of creating a design that will work.
he wants a solution that will enable his bad design to work:
sort of how can he pack more than 5 pounds in a 2 pound sack.
after all, he only has a month to fix the problem....... |

Yes, Dick you're correct. There's always time to do it wrong but never time to do it right....

| Thanks to all whoever provided own inputs on that.. I have found the solution that can be impliment perfectly within a month time.. This is as simple adding a new table and calling the second once the limit reached from one.. |

Never did get an answer.
I have a reason for asking....

Don't understand how you get an 878 with what little you have described.
Don't see how, if you've hit a limit on one table, you are able to add another. A Cobol program can have a max working-storage of 128mb. A Cobol table can have a max size of 128mb. If you've hit the limit with a table, you've also hit the limit for working-storage.
So I'm sure nothing is as you've described it so far, let alone asnwering anyone's questions.
If you're happy, OK, but I'm with dbz and Mr Bill in thinking that you've got yourself a bad design, which you are going to implement, come what may. |
