Check out $TBUFDEF to increase value of EXTBUF. $DBUFDEF will show your current value which should be 49.

Obviously we need to hunt down the problem and kill it. In the meantime, when it happens, and our system gets IPLed (second-level guest, at IBM Dallas), we wind up unable to logon. Starting the guest gets: *$HASP050 JES2 RESOURCE SHORTAGE OF BUFX - 100% UTILIZATION REACHED A TOTAL OF 49 BUFX ARE CURRENTLY DEFINED, OF WHICH: 49 (100%) ARE IN USE 40 (81%) ARE BEING WAITED FOR 0 PROCESSORS REQUESTED BUFX BUT DID NOT WAIT THE LARGEST UNFULFILLED REQUEST WAS FOR 0 BUFX A MINIMUM OF 89 BUFX IS REQUIRED TO SATISFY CURRENT DEMAND Issuing commands like VINPUT VMSG $POJOBQ,ALL,PROTECTED,DAYS>0 seems to purge a bunch of stuff (we get messages that suggest this is true, and repeating the command gets "HASP003 RC=(52),PO JOBQ - NO SELECTABLE ENTRIES FOUND MATCHING") but doesn't seem to actually help. So...from a SECUSERed VM logon, how can we clear SPOOL? A cold start would suffice, although of course knowing how to do so without a cold start would be even better (for those times when it's full but not yet down). Thanks. And yes, I've Googled and Googled 'til my Googler is sore; there must be something I haven't thought of before...
