• History– Customers requested method for editing very large files

– Technology limitations prevented files from being read into memory

– Created WINDOWING that allowed editing of these files

• Primary and Line commands restricted

• Large file access of ESDS, RRDS and PDS files was not supported

• Present– Customers requested that we take advantage of new

technology changes

– 16.03 uses above bar memory by using 64-bit memory

– Primary and Line commands are no longer restricted

– Large file access of ESDS, RRDS and PDS files is supported
