In this case the term "address space was generic", referring to the range of 
permissible numbers. SV

Subject: Re: Assembler :- PC Instruction

 PC does not have a larger address space. It simply has the option to access 
other address spaces.

Collisions for PC environments cannot occur because the PC instruction must use 
the token returned when you created the environment. The problem is passing 
this token to programs issuing the PC instruction.

I believe IBM has some statically defined PC tokens.

 PC has a larger address space, but IBM still has to reserve numbers for its 
own use, and 3rd party vendors still must avoid collisions.
