I've been getting a lot of Machine Storage Exhausted errors using EXECIO *
DISKR to a stem variable.  I'm running out of storage below the line and
even 0M doesn't work.  Does EXECIO to a stem store the stem below the line?
I can't find any other reason for the Machine Storage Exhausted errors.

Can't say, but my experience is that if you want to handle big files in
Rexx that you need to write the code something like: 

do forever
   "execio 5000 diskr" ddname "(stem rec." ; erc = rc
   if erc >4 then leave   /* eof */

   /* now process the rec.0   records in the rec. array  */
end 
"execio 0 diskr" ddname (finis"           /* close file */

I have an assembler program (which I call VSMSTUFF) which reports on memory
allocated.

It breaks it up by subpool number and over/below the line. It uses PUTLINE so
it can be used within an EXEC to detect which subpool is growing and by how
much.
