Hi Robert
If the rexx isn't compiled,your suggestion is right. If the rexx is compiled,we have to change ROFILE VARSTORAGE to HIGH for a big size file. ------------------ Thanks a lot!

Machine storage exhausted or request exceeds limit in REXX REXX isn't the problem. Your coding technique is. There's no limit to the size of file you can read and process using REXX, --provided-- that you read and process only one record (or at most only a few records) at a time, like 'normal' program would. For example: EXECIO 1 DISKR MYFILE IF RC <> 0 THEN DO ....whatever your end of input file logic needs to be.... END PARSE PULL BUFFER (...BUFFER now contains the record you just read from MYFILE...) ...etc... -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of ibmmain Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 4:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: EAGREX0500E Error 5 . Machine storage exhausted or request exceeds limit in REXX Hi all&nbsp; &nbsp;We want to handle a big file (about 5,000,000 records in it) by REXX. We also compile the Rexx PGM by REXXCOMP&nbsp; ---------------------------------------------------- //COMPILE EXEC PGM=REXXCOMP,PARM='ALT SL COND TRACE' //SYSIN DD DSN=yourlib.SYSEXEC(REXXIN),DISP=SHR //SYSCEXEC DD DSN=yourlib.SYSEXEC(REXXOUT),DISP=SHR&nbsp; ------------------------------------------------------------------- &nbsp;After we submitted the JCL using the REXXOUT with REGION=0M, We got the following message: EAGREX0500E Error 5 . Machine storage exhausted or request exceeds the limit. Our questions: 1 Could REXX handle more than 5,000,000 records files? 2 Is there any way to solve this issue?' Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!
