Compiler Storage Requirements - IBM 5280 Programmer's Manual

If COPY statements are used in the source program, a COpy library must be
defined. THe COPY library will contain the source statements or data
definition statements (DDS) to be copied into the program. The COpy
library can be the system source statement library, or a private source
statement library. The sublibrary is assumed to be
C.
SYSLIST is assumed to have been assigned to a printer. where source
statements, maps, and the other information you request through the various
compiler options are to be printed.
Compiler Storage Requirements
The compiler requires a 144K partition with an additional24K bytes of
G ETVIS space.
See Appendix F for estimates on the main and secondary storage required for
the compiler and the various data sets.
LINote: With VSE/ Advanced Functions release 2, the default value assigned for
GET VIS space is 48K bytes. Because the operating system uses most of this
space, you should specify the SIZE parameter on the EXEC statement so that
at least 72K bytes of GETVIS space is allocated. For example:
EXEC AVCDO,SIZE=144K
The above example assumes that the partition size is 216K bytes. 144K bytes
are allocated for compiler space; the remaining 72K bytes are available for
G ETVIS space.
