George, An afternoon spent browsing through the CP Commands and Utilities References (they take up three binders on my shelf) might be time well spent.
As you browse through them, your familiarity and skill set increases - valuable when you need to know if a command is available to meet a need during a crisis. Perhaps consider using post-it's to mark particularly useful commands for your site. Even VM old-timer's are often surprised by new commands. > But there does not seem to be any CP Query command that shows SPOOL utilization. How about: CP Query ALLOC SPOOL Respectfully, Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

It may be a z/OS VTAM issue. It fits the crime. But there does not seem to be any CP Query command that shows SPOOL utilization. There is Q MAXSPOOL for files but that does not even show utilization. But ty for the download references. I will go there now.

Use SPOOLPIG or SPOOLCHN tools from the z/VM downloads page and find out where the big files are. A runaway or looping guest that is spitting out messages can cause spool to fillup as the console log grows ... something to look for as well. The INDICATE commands don't show any issues that I can see. Your subject is 'hanging when dialing z/OS guests'.. Are there consoles available to dial to? Under z/VM - you need to ENABLE consoles to be available for dialing -- not sure what the equivalent is for z/OS.
