You can determine the number of 4K pages that each spool file command is
currently using from a Privclass "D" userid with the commands:
CP QUERY RDR EXP
CP QUERY PRT EXP
CP QUERY PUN EXP
The 'SIZE' column has the answers. This should get you started.
'PIPE (NAME SumRdr)' ,
'| CP QUERY RDR EXP' ,
'| DROP 1' , /* Drop title line */
'| SPECS' , /* Just the size */
' PRINTONLY EOF' , /* Prt only total */
' a: 77.4 .' , /* Just SIZE col. */
' SET #0+=a' , /* Add new value */
' EOF' , /* Mark EOF */
' PRINT #0 1' , /* Print total */
'| CONSOLE'

Spool File Backup (SFB) BCHTIMER Files
I thought I saw some detail document for SFB which discussed the creation
and contents of BCHTIMER files.
My current system has been creating automagically and spooling them to
MAINT for several years.
No sure what is triggering the process.
Also any idea of how much disk space is needed for offloading SPOOL files,
not SDF? The same, more, or less?
