Thanks to everyone who offered their advice.
A couple of points:
1: The console is in roll mode; this message is, rightly, considered serious
enough to hang on the console.
2: At least of the replies (I'm in digest mode), I've seen so far, no one has
explained why the K e,1,10 doesn't work, but apparently should.
I will try out your suggestions and report back. I appreciate the PF key
setup suggestion immensely.
Thank you all again.

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.
