Figure 1. VAE with Three Address Spaces
Figure 1 depicts a typical VSE virtual storage configuration using Virtual
Addressability Extension (VAE) introduced in VSE/SP V2. In this configuration the
largest possible address space is approximately 7MB. Therefore, a single
partition running in its own address space is limited to 7MB. Initially support was
for only three address spaces. This was later enhanced to nine.
