Randy,
We had a similar problem a few months back after a power outage. High
spool utilization with nothing in the spool space. We did a VM IPL cold
start and our numbers came back to 'normal'.

Thanks to all,
This has been a very intresting problem.
In summary, It is the dump file allocation that is
jacking up the spool space.
I determined this by toggling the dump on and off.
As determined the spool space is just to small. I
will look into expanding the dump spool space or just
the spool space in general.
Is there a way to clean out the dump?? I don't want
to get rid of it just clean it off. Erase all dump
contents. If I did this will it the change the size??
normally when I do a Q alloc spool I get 24%. everday
all day.
about a month ago or so we had a system power
failer(power company knocked us off during a ups power
upgrade) and ever since then our spool file has been
83%.
Why before Power failer 24%, after power failer 83%???
this tells me something dumped and is know filling up
my spool.
can I just erase it???? not remove file, just clear
it??
shouldnt this reduce my spool file size requirements??
Thank you,
