          Appeal No. 95-2205                                                          
          Application 07/750,807                                                      


          Appellant's claimed step of allocating additional private storage           
          area recited in claim 24.                                                   
               Appellant argues on page 5 of the brief that contrary to               
          claims 1 and 24, the IBM's GETVIS is not deallocated at the end             
          of the job.  However, we note that it is not the GETVIS including           
          the default area that the Examiner is relying on for the finding            



          of allocating and deallocating additional private storage area.             
          As point out above, IBM teaches the step of allocating an                   
          additional storage area of 12K as shown in Figure 28.                       
          Furthermore, on page 88, IBM teaches deallocating the additional            
          storage area (the 12K shown in Figure 28) at the end of the job.            
          We appreciate that IBM teaches that the GETVIS has the 48K of               
          default storage space at the end of the deallocation step.                  
          However, Appellant's claim 24 only recites that the additional              
          private storage space is deallocated.                                       
               On page 6 of the brief, Appellant argues that claims 21                
          through 23 and 28 through 30 further specify that the allocation            
          of storage for a job is made on a job basis at various time                 
          throughout program execution.  Appellant argues that the IBM                
          guide does not provide allocation on a job basis.                           

                                          7
