Virtual storage exhausted; increase the SIZE option

Explanation

The size of the dynamic storage area allocated for assembler buffer areas, tables, and work areas, as specified in the SIZE option, is not enough for the assembly to complete.

System action

A special abnormal termination dump (High Level Assembler interrupt and diagnostic dump) follows the message. The dump normally indicates the statement being processed when the assembler determined there was not enough dynamic storage available to continue. Depending on where the error occurred, the assembly listing up to the statement being processed might also be produced. The other information in the dump, such as register and work area contents, is not needed.

Programmer response

Increase the value specified in the SIZE option, or split the assembly into two or more assemblies. Check for conditional assembly language loops in open code that could cause the symbol table to overflow.

Severity
