The Loader then (supposing you're using the Loader to import the data) will idle (actually it will wait in 'receive' for an answer from the kernel that won't come; this simply means the Loader sends a packet with data and the kernel will try to include it in it's structures and realize there is no space left, it'll then not send an answer and the Loader would wait and wait and ...), but it won't stop working/waiting. YOU may then realize that the volumes filled up to the maximum and decide to add a new volume (assuming the parameter MAXDATAVOLUMES/MAXDATADEVSPACES is set accordingly to allow adding new volumes on the fly). After the new volume is added the Loader will continue to import. The same applies if the LOG filles up. HTH.
