I'm running a REPRO MERGECAT at z/OS V1R8, getting IDC3332I ** INSUFFICIENT MAIN STORAGE trying to merge 360,000 entries into a new catalog. I'm running 0M (also tried 250M and 500M) with no exits limiting storage. I've got 12M private below the line. IBM is giving me the WAD, telling me to break down the REPRO MERGECAT into smaller chunks.
A friend of mine find old issues dating back to 2000 where IDCAMS gets this message for LISTCAT, let alone REPRO MERGECAT. It's 2007, people! Region abends for below the line storage are so 20th century. I'm submitting a SHARE requirement to remove this limitation in IDCAMS, or provide us a new utility that can get the job done. Let me know if you've had problems like this in IDCAMS, so I can flesh out the requirement. War stories, comments, etc. also appreciated.
