Tom,
I'm guessing it's limited by the size of your warmstart area. (Is it 10
cylinders?)

Subject: Maxspool
I was starting to get concerned with the number of spool files in my
system (zVM 5.1). I hit the 9,999 mark, so after some minor cleanup, I
was wondering what was the maximum number of spool files CP can handle.
I did a "query maxspool system":
MAXIMUM SPOOL FILE COUNT FOR SYSTEM IS 1655640
Wow, we got a little way to go<G>.
But....1,655,640? What binary magical number is that?
1655640 decimal is
194358 hex which is
000110010100001101011000 in binary.
Just where is the magically charms in those numbers?

(btw, the reason why we currently have a large spool count is one of
our DB2 applications had some errors. And we are rebuilding the data.
I run, hourly, daily and weekly a bunch of "report" type utilities and
some of these are needed to validate that the data is being rebuilt
correctly. What reports? I don't know. But instead of offloading
everything, I thought I could get by with not running sfpurger. I may
have to guess again<G>)
