Steve,

That object will NEVER be "pinned" in memory when using SETOBJACC.

SETOBJACC does NOT "PIN" anything into memory.  That is why you should create a separate private memory pool, so that when you issue SETOBJACC, it will do a "BRING" to bring (page in) the entire object into that memory pool.   But then, subsequent to that, if any other demands on that same memory pool cause pages to be "stolen" -- well, TOO BAD, SO SAD...

(If it did do a "pin" that could be VERY BAD for overall system performance.)

For more details or how you can write your own program to issue the MI instruction SETACST (Set access state), see:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.1?topic=ssw_ibm_i_71/rzatk/SETACST.htm

MI instructions can be written in OPM MI assembler or you can embed them as built-in functions in any ILE language (C, CL, RPGLE).

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Is there a way to show what objects are pinned to memory with the SETOBJACC command or a way to prove that an object you want pinned is actually pinned to memory?
