The SE is talking with them now. There suggestion was to process less data. :-D Why not selecting shorter intervals of SMF data? Or process one LPAR at a stage? Or try massage the SMF data in two stages using work datasets as temporary storage?

Even if you were to increase the region size, it would still run out of memory. Of course. Since it ends 'nicely with an error message'. >And then if it truly is not an error and truly needs this much memory, the program needs to be re-written to use data spaces or above-2G storage. Or use disk/tape as storage. To Mark: I am suspecting that the program may needs to be re-assembled to pickup the correct SMF record layout.
