Component: EZTPLS

Resolution

Please check, change and test the following - even just one of the following suggestions, could resolve the problem: 

- first try to use REGION=0M and if it fails nevertheless change REGION from 0 to a real value what is actually required approximately + some buffer 

- try CALL(AMODE31) on the PARM statement in order to run the program above the line (or change AMODE31 to Y in the EZOPTBL options table)

- if ENVIRONMENT is set to COBOL, then setting LE option ALL31 to ON could resolve the problem (but please be aware - ALL31 must be OFF if calling 24-bit sub programs) 

- decrease BUFNO, for example from 10 to 2 or 1 in the options table (2 is the default)  

- increase the SPACE at the EZTVFM DD to 500 or even more, for example: 

//EZTVFM DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(500),,CONTIG) 

or increase VFMSPAC in options table 

- increase STORMAX in options table to 8192K (default is 4096K) 

- try 

WORKFILE (YES 500)

on PARM

- if using many REPORT files with BLKSIZE=0 or a high value, then try to use a lower value at BLKSIZE

- try

SORT (MEMORY (MAX -16))

on PARM statement 

- apply all published PTFs, if not already done

Additional Information

- using BUFNO at FILE statements is going to override the BUFNO options table settings
- REGION=128M could be used, for example
