Randy, You can't transfer an open file.
Have you tried SET DUMP OFF and checked the allocation again? You can turn the dumps back on with SET DUMP DASD Ron -----Original Message----- From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Dray Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 9:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Q alloc SPool Help Thanks for the info. I am trying to locate the file that is causing my spool usage to be 83%???? q alloc spool q alloc spool EXTENT EXTENT TOTAL PAGES HIGH % VOLID RDEV START END PAGES IN USE PAGE USED ------ ---- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ---- 440RES 0600 79 256 32040 26769 31680 83% ------ ------ ---- SUMMARY 32040 26769 83% USABLE 32040 26769 83% I thought maybe it was OPERATNS userid, but as you just stated, Most likely not the culprit. Any suggestions on how to track down the file that is filling up my Spool file. We had a power outage 3 weeks ago, before this outage my spool was at 28%. Now its 83%. pretty sure that they are tied together but cant find it. I did a Transfer * rdr all to maint rdr then did a rdrlist, purged everything, Useage still 83 %. ?????
