Prefixed Save Area

Prefixed Save Area

Prefixed Save Area is a common area of virtual storage from address zero through 8191 in every address space which is often referred to as "Low Core". There is one unique PSA for every processor installed in a z/OS mainframe system.

The PSA maps architecturally fixed hardware and software storage locations for the processor. Because there is a unique PSA for each processor, from the view of a program running on z/OS, the contents of the PSA can change any time the program is dispatched on a different processor. This feature is unique to the PSA area and is accomplished through a unique DAT manipulation technique called prefixing.
