'Getting rid of SYS1.BRODCAST' means replacing it with userlogs for 'directed' messages. That is, messages with a specific userid. You still need SYS1.BRODCAST for messages actually broadcast to all users with SAVE.
The main problem with using SYS1.BRODCAST for directed messages is that all users defined at the last ACCOUNT SYNC are candidates for message store. If a user defined at that time stops logging on, messages--especially JCL NOTIFYs--will accumulate indefinitely. In my experience, that's why SYS1.BRODCAST fills up. Since a userlog is created only when a user actually logs on, defunct userids have no impact. . . .

Getting rid of SYS1.BRODCAST gets rid of serialization on SYS1.BRODCAST and makes management of space mor comp[lex but cleaner. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
