OK! Thanks all! One of the problems is gone. We found some DASD problem, we solved them and...voilà! Now we only have the problems of the DUMP files in CLOSE PENDING STATUS. The solved problem was only today's problem, the CLOSE PENDING's one is much older... Who is the responsible for changing

Victor, for z/OS 1.4 there is an USERMOD to zap the values. Check IBM. To see who is filling SMF, check the records that have been recorded and later written. The offender will probably have produced the most of the written records before causing problems. I cannot help you with the other prob

Then I have another problem...we use z/OS 1.4! Nevertheless, we already thought about the problem you said. But our system is about 80% CPU, and we are used to be in 100%. I know there is no implication with cpu and smf writing, but I can suppose we had more smf writing per second a lot of times. T
