The storage that GTF requires depends on the trace options you
choose. After you have decided which options you want GTF to use,
use Figure 1 to determine the amount of storage you should
specify in the REGION parameter of either your cataloged procedure's
EXEC statement or the START GTF command. There are several types
of storage to calculate:
- Extended pageable link pack area (EPLPA)
- System queue area (SQA)
- Extended common service area (ECSA)
- Region storage
Use the formulas in Figure 1 to calculate the amount of storage needed for each storage type. Then add them all together to arrive at the final figure to specify on the REGION parameter. For information about the options mentioned in the figure, see GTF trace options.
