I get this message with every IPL now
IEC361I CATALOG ICFCAT.USERID (DATA) HAS REACHED 100% OF THE MAXIMUM EXTENTS
But LISTCAT all shows:
FREESPC--------185794560
HI-A-RBA-------185794560
HI-U-RBA---------2949120
I haven't had a good opportunity to reorg and reduce the number of extents.
But, when it first failed (and it did fail) with this message, I discovered a
pathological HLQ in it.
I did a REPRO MERGECAT of the HLQ (SMTP) to its own usercatalog (which does
have CA-RECLAIM), hit ICFCAT.USERID with CR+ REORG while open. And stopped
worrying.
