LST parameters in B01LSTxx

SVC

nnn

Installation-defined SVC number used by the Beta SVC

Required

A2G_SUPPORT

YES | NO

Enables the BQL DB cache to be used above the 2GB limit (e.g. use of main storage "above the bar") – 64 bit. If A2G_SUPPORT is active, but no storage or insufficient storage is available above the bar, the Beta product will not be started.

IBM states: "You can set a limit on how much virtual storage above the bar each address space can use. This limit is called the MEMLIMIT. If you do not set MEMLIMIT, the system default is 0, meaning no address space can use virtual storage above the bar. If you want to use virtual storage above the bar, you need to set the MEMLIMIT explicitly. You can set an installation default MEMLIMIT through SMFPRMxx in PARMLIB or via SETSMF command. You can also set MEMLIMIT for a specific address space in the JCL that creates the address space or by using SMF exit IEFUSI."

Please refer to the IBM literature for further information.
