What's the difference of the following three PAGESPACE?

PLPA
COMMON
LOCAL

I can add type LOCAL by using system command:

PAGEADD page=PAGE.MVS.LOCAL2,

How can I add one for type PLPA ?

Andy,

PLPA = Pageable Link Pack Area This area contains supervisor call routines, access methods, and other read-only system programs along with read-only reenterable user programs selected by an installation to be shared among users of the system. Optional functions or devices selected by an installation during system generation add additional modules to the PLPA.

Check this link which explains about defining the the CICS LPA library to your MVS

Hope this helps...

Cheers

There can be only one PLPA dataset and one COMMON dataset as defined at system initialization. If it's too small, you must allocate a new one and IPL w/CLPA option.

The need for LOCAL pagespace will increase/decrease with the workload, that's why these can be added and removed.
