An alternative for an MVS GETMAIN would be to fully enable your Assembler program under "Language Environment" or temporarily enable the program under "Language Environment" using the "CEEPIPI" LE Enabling-routine.

In either case, once the LE environment has been established, you can use the LE Service routine "CEEGTST" (Get Storage) and (as an option) the "CEEFRST" routine (Free Storage).

You can use STORAGE OBTAIN instead of GETMAIN.

See:

Yeah, forgot about that one.

STORAGE OBTAIN can expand to a PC as opposed to an SVC and has many different options.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane....
