Storage Protection

Storage protection is enabled by specifying PROTECT in the SYSTEM statement at system generation. The benefits of using storage protection are that CPU overhead is reduced because there are shorter chains for the system to walk.

To avoid SVC overhead, it is advisable to enable storage protection (that is, specify PROTECT) on the SYSTEM statement and to disable storage protection (that is, specify NOPROTECT) on the PROGRAM statement.
