No I'm not but I couldn't find any mention of it in my searches. I waswondering why it appeared fixed and then seems to be undone.

In V5R1 the CHGPGM command was enhanced with the TERASPACE parameterwhich
allows you to set the appropriate teraspace storage enablement value
(admittedly with a change in value causing the system to re-create the
program). Use of this parameter on CHGPGM should provide a reasonableworkaround for the *ENBTS option not being available on the QPRCRTPG APIin V5.

I missed this enhancement entirely. Thanks. That will do nicely. Bitmessy that it causes two object creations but usable.

My personal hope is that we would in the future go the way of most(thoughnot all) of the current ILE languages -- just make the programteraspaceenabled and not need an option like *ENBTS at all (which would suggestnot
adding one now...).

That makes sense but MI (as in the MI compiled by QPRCRTPG) is notreally an ILE language so now my mind is spinning at possible futures.... Hmmm, he says to himself ... :-)

PS - Please copy me directly on notes that you would like to make sureIsee. I only noticed my name in this note after it had sat in mymailbox
for three days...

I thought about that but I figured the title might catch yourattention. I felt it wasn't urgent enough to bother you directly but Iwas about to question my local IBM support about this issue.


Thanks for the explanation (and work-around).

Simon Coulter.
