Paging area

The paging area is the sum of all SYS.PAGING.<vsn> files. The paging area acts as an external storage area for non-resident areas of memory (see the “Introduction to System Administration [4]).

The disk area used for paging (paging file) is set up by means of the SIR //CREATE-PAGING-FILE statement or using the /CREATE-PAGING-FILE command.
