So the real question, I submit, gets to be "how come there's so much of SCM tied up?" Are we trying to capture dumps into an already overly-full memory / SCM situation?
This thread (and a SEPARATE customer situation) prompted a discussion today in my team about doing more with the SMF 75 (and 71) data now that SCM is quite commonplace.

MAXSPACE has nothing to do with it. You would get a different reason code for MAXSPACE. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
