Common Storage attributes

The Common Storage Attribute Group displays information about four important areas of common storage: common service area (CSA), extended CSA, system queue area (SQA), and extended SQA.

Allocation The amount of storage currently allocated for the area. For SQA and ESQA, under normal conditions, this value is the same as Total Size. If an overflow has occurred, then the value may exceed Total Size. Valid value is a numeric in the range 0 to 2147483647.

Allocation Percent The amount of storage currently allocated as a percentage of total storage in this area. Valid range is 0 - 100.

Area The name of the common storage area presented in this row of the table view. For SQA and ESQA, under normal conditions, this will be 100%. If an overflow has occurred, then the value may exceed 100%. Valid values are:

ESQA Overflow The amount of ESQA that has overflowed into the ECSA. Valid value is a numeric in the range 0 to 2147483647.
