how do I do to fill with binary zeros an area obtained by storage obtain?
I am using MVCLE, the area possesses 34.000.000 of bytes. The program is in AMIDE=31.

The area OBTAINed should already be filled with binary zeroes. The z/OS V1R9.0 MVS Assembler Services Reference (IAR-XCT) SA22-7607-12 states, for STORAGE OBTAIN:

Quote:
When you obtain storage, the system clears the requested storage to zeros if you obtain either:

* 8192 bytes or more from a pageable, private storage subpool
* 4096 bytes or more from a pageable, private storage subpool, with BNDRY=PAGE specified.

The caller can specify CHECKZERO=YES to detect these and other cases where the system clears the requested storage to zeros.


If you need to reinitialise, it's probably simpler to RELEASE and re-issue OBTAIN.

Regards,
Garry.
