Full database files

["Matthias Oertli" <oertlim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As everybody knows, every time a database file becomes full, the
system sends a message to QSYSOPR asking to increase the
file's size. You choose ignore, and that's that.

While the system is waiting for the 'file-full' message to be answered,
the job is on hold, obviously. If it happens to be an interactive job,
the user/workstation is on hold until the message is answered.

I would like to know how you people handle this situation. Do you
let the users do Sysreq 6 and answer the message? Do you add 
the 'file-full' message to the system reply list and change all jobs to
use it? Is there an ever-present operator standing by to answer these
messages?

Your thought on this are appreciated.
Regards,
Matthias
