It seems to me that our case is different. The IEF message clearly states that the job was using roughly 250G of *above the bar* storage. So MEMLIMIT was not honoured. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
