- Forget about changing the value via DELTA... Changing the value after
- the system is running will not grant you what you want. Let me refer you
- to a paraghaph in the top of pg. 487 in the IDSM.
-
- "During system initialization, enough virtual address space is reserved
- in each PHD for the maximum-sized working set list, one with SYSGEN
- parameter WSMAX entries."
-
- Changine the WSMAX value with DELTA will change the storage cell value
- but not other pools and values reserved as a consequence of its initial
- value.
