RE: CEE0808 error on %alloc

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wouldn't 16MB be 16 * 1024 * 1024 = 16,777,216 ???

Clearly, the documentation in the RPG reference is incorrect, since it lists
the max value for %Alloc as 16,776,704.

The largest single allocation is 16MB - 1 page, which is 16773120.

I see the same issue at V5R2.  Perhaps this is a PTF?  It works if you 
grab
16770018 bytes though.  I thought it was related to the amount of storage
already allocated to the program, but adding dome character variables 
didn't
change the limit any.  Nor did allocating several 16770018 byte buffers.
