• A data space is a range of up to two gigabytes

of contiguous virtual storage addresses that a


program can directly manipulate through
assembler instructions.

• Unlike an address space, a data space can hold


only data or programs stored as data.

data in a data space
• Tables, arrays, or matrixes
• Data base buffers
• Temporary work files
• Copies of permanent data sets

An example of using a data space
• Application to improve its performance ‐ If the
tables were to reside in data spaces,

• one table to each data space, the tables would


then be accessible to the program through
assembler instructions.

Creating and using data spaces‐
DSPSERV
• Create a data space
• Release an area in a data space
• Delete a data space
• Expand the amount of storage in a data space
currently available to a program.
• Load an area of a data space into central
storage
• Page an area of a data space from central
storage

• When a program uses the DSPSERV macro to
create a data space, the system returns a
STOKEN that uniquely identifies the data
space. (Data spaces do not have ASIDs.)

• The program then gains access to the data


space: it uses the ALESERV macro to add an
entry to an access list and obtain an access list
entry token (ALET).

Access list entry token (ALET)

The access list can be one of two
types:
• A dispatchable unit access list (DU‐AL) — the
access list that is associated with a TCB or SRB

• A primary address space access list (PASN‐AL)


— the access list that is associated with an
address space

AR‐mode programming support
• to manipulate data in a data space, your
program must use the
– set of general purpose registers (GPRs)
– plus another set of registers called access register

AR‐mode programming support
• What is an access register (AR)?
• An AR is a hardware register that a program
uses to identify an address space or a data
space.
• Each processor has 16 ARs, numbered 0
through 15, and they are paired one‐to‐one
with the 16 GPRs.

Address space control (ASC)
• In primary mode, your program can access
data that resides in the program's primary
address space.
• In AR mode, your program can access data
that resides in the address space or data space
that the ARs indicate
• SAC 512 sets the ASC mode to AR mod
• SAC 0 sets the ASC mode to primary mode

Relationship between the data
space and its owner
• Your program can create a data space, but it
cannot own the data space.

• If the unit of work that represents the


program is a TCB, that TCB is the owner of the
data space

• When a TCB terminates, the system deletes


any data spaces that the TCB owns.

• Scope=single, scope=all, and scope=common
data spaces

Suresh’s cook book for


LEMURIA TECHNOLOGIES LTD
ASSEMBLER
• SCOPE=SINGLE data spaces A SCOPE=SINGLE
data space with an entry on a PASN‐AL can be
used by programs running in the owner's
address space.

• A SCOPE=SINGLE data space with an entry on


a DU‐AL can be used by programs represented
by TCBs

Suresh’s cook book for


LEMURIA TECHNOLOGIES LTD
ASSEMBLER
SCOPE=ALL
• can be used by programs running in the
owner's primary address space and other
address spaces

• provide a way to share data selectively among


programs running in multiple address spaces.

Suresh’s cook book for


LEMURIA TECHNOLOGIES LTD
ASSEMBLER
SCOPE=COMMON
• can be used by all programs in the system.

• It provides a commonly addressable area


similar to the common service area (CSA).
