Full database files -Reply

I personally would use the Change Physical File (CHGPF) command to change the
member size to *NOMAX.  This would eliminate the message from showing up at all.

Of course there is a draw back to this and that is that you will have to 
monitor the file sizes
on your own.  However, this draw back may out way the messages sent to 
operator.  
I would not give the users the option to respond to QSYSOPR messages for the 
sake that
they may respond incorrectly.  Not to knock users, but they are not trained on 
what the
QSYSOPR messages are.  I would rather increase the member size to *NOMAX and
monitor file sizes than give a user a chance to cause problems.

Hope this helps

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.

Matthias
