The external storage portion of the report displays the following information:

A

Displays the name of the control section created by the PL/I compiler for the external storage area.

B

Displays the absolute address of the external storage area.

C

Displays the length of the external storage.

D

If the external storage display requires more than one line, each line displays the absolute address and the offset within the external storage for the data on that line.

Note: External storage is not displayed for programs that have been compiled using Enterprise PL/I for z/OS and OS/390 with the RENT option.
