       With the introduction of EAV Paging support by CP APAR
  VM66263, output from the System_Page_Utilization_Query API can
  be different from what is documented.  The total_pages and
  pages_in_use output fields in the paging_volume_structure output
  and the total_paging_pages and total_paging_pages_in_use output
  fields in the page_file_structure output can have a length
  greater than the "1-8" length currently documented for the API.
