Hi everyone. I recently suffered a console flood caused by the RACFDS running out of space. This is an ADCD z/OS 1.5 system. The out of space condition appears to have occurred due to an oddity in how DB2 archive logs were RACF protected. Each dataset Db2 created caused RACF to create a matching RACF profile. The dataset names of course have Date and Time in them so are unique. It appears to have taken 5.5 years to blow out RACF. I deleted the existing profile and created a generic profile which appears to not cause the problem. Oh, I also deleted all the old profiles. My actual question has to do with the control operator command. On this system, the only form of it that appears to work is K E,1 (delete 1 message). K E,1,10 - according to the Command Reference manual should delete the first 10 action messages; but it gets rejected due to 'invalid range'. My fingers got tired repeating k e,1 for every IRR405I that got generated. Is this correct that only K E,1 should work? Is there a better procedure than this for dealing with the flood, short of punching out and reipling? Will Daiske survive Yankee Stadium? Thanks.
