STACK (non-CICS)

STACK controls the allocation of the thread's stack storage for both the upward- and downward-growing stack. Typical items residing in the upward-growing stack are C or PL/I automatic variables, COBOL LOCAL-STORAGE data items, and work areas for COBOL library routines.

The downward-growing stack will be allocated only when an application has been built with XPLINK.

Storage required for the common anchor area (CAA) and other control blocks is allocated separately from, and prior to, the allocation of the initial stack segment and the initial heap.

When COBOL is the only selected language, values for STACK will be changed to (64K,64K,ANY,KEEP,,).

STACK has the following suboptions :
