    ....I get the following error message (from SDA):
    
    	%LIB-F-INSVIRMEM, insufficient virtual memory
    
    ...[T]he SDA manual ... says that VIRTUALPAGECNT must be larger than
    the system dump file by about 2000 pages.  On our system it has a value
    of >76,000, and SYSDUMP.DMP is only 73732 blocks. From what I can tell
    this should work.

VIRTUALPAGECNT specifies the largest virtual size any process on the system
can ever have.  However, individual processes also have their own limits.
In particular, check the PGFLQUOTA for the username you are running SDA
under, and increase it if necessary.  (SDA maps the dump file directly, so
shouldn't actually need anything like enough PGFLQUOTA for all of it - but
things like symbol definitions - from READ commands - can take up a lot of
space that probably IS backed by the page file.)

If this doesn't seem to be the problem, please provide more details as to
what you were doing at the time the error message appeared.  E.g., does this
happen just after you enter SDA, or only when you issue some particular set
of commands?
