I like that idea. Since this seems to be a problem with one particular user (according to Scrooge), this will free up the spool without being as nasty as purging the output (which would be a waste of resources considering the user would probably run the jobs again to recreate the output). And CREATOR= (owner/userid) is a valid selection criteria as you suggested.

Most likely due to it being "easy" and not needing to bother with estimating his dataset size requirements. So, what would people think about being able to put a quota on JES2 SPOOL space by userid? Of course, scheduled jobs (test, model office/q&a, and prod) would need to run under an exempt userid. And I guess STCs should be exempt also. What about TSO logons? And what should happen when the quota is exhausted? An abend? An I/O error reported to the job? >> >> > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
