Re: ESQA allocation question



It's not too faded Ted. And yes, Walsh.

would not be a good thing below the line, but I haven't read of any clear reason to 'tune' ESQA rather than ESQA/ECSA as a combined area.


I have always been of the opinion that a little SQA/ESQA conversion is okay, but not a lot.
IBM (I believe) used recommend as little as possible.
But, now with 64-bit addressing, and no expanded storage I think you cannot get away with it.
IIRC, IPL-processing needs more ESQA to build page tables, and that will not be allowed to overflow into CSA, since the entire system is not up yet.

There's a paper on the WTC site explaining this.
And, as my faded memory recalls, it might have been written by Kathy Welsh/Walsh (?).
