Those two big files are CP pre-allocated dump files that are there as a
"just in case". You could set dump off but then if a problem did occur,
you'd be out of luck. A few years and/or releases ago, there was a
problem with the CP dump space growing over time. At that time, I set
a timer pop in my VMSCHED machine to set the dump off and 10 minutes
later set it back on. I don't know if the growing dump files are sill a
problem, but doing that doesn't hurt, unless of course, an abend happens
just as you turn off the dump space.

My VM SPOOL is at 74% used. Normally I run a REXX/PIPE that does a Q =
RDR EXP and calculates the blocks used by each user and gives me a list =
of the top 10. Normally this comes close to what the Q SPOOL ALLOC =
shows. However, today the two are off by a large amount:

* Source Available Num files In Use % full *=20
* ------ --------- --------- ------ ------ *=20
* Q ALLOC SPOOL: 1174K --- 894001 74% *=20
* SPOOLHOG calculated: --- 2719 218984 --- *

NOTE: I have two 3390-3's dedicated to VM SPOOL.

I modified the exec to do a Q PRT EXP and that only shows about 5000 =
more blocks in use. After some looking around I found these two spool =
files in OPERATNS userid:

They do not have records but then again they are not closed. Could =
these two rdr spool files be what is hogging up my spool? If not does =
anyone have a suggestion as where to look next? Thanks.
