New Dataspace message

We need a new message to be produced by CICS each time a new Dataspace is allocated.

Customers closely monitor storage use within a CICS region. In the past, there was never a need to worry about dataspace storage for Datatables going above 2GB since there could only be one dataspace. Now, there is the possibility of allocating
99 dataspaces at 2GB each. Customers will be able to use a message that indicates number x dataspace was allocated.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Chuck, thank you for your update. I think 64bit lsrpool buffers is on a roadmap for DFSMS but I don't know how far down the list.

    My shop is considering placing several large (each file in the range of 3 thru 8 gigabytes per file) vsam files into cics shared data tables for both cpu savings(in AOR and FOR) and VSCR(in the FOR). Having some diagnostic messages in the cics joblog to indicate when another 2 gigabyte dataspace has been allocated could be helpful when debugging excessive MVS paging problems. BTW-if vsam were ever enhanced to permit LSR pool buffers to be placed into 64 bit storage, I would have less need to build so many huge shared data tables. Even if just LSR index buffers were placed into 64 bit storage, it would help.
