Re: AS/400: Computer memory used up by spool files -- MAPICS-L

Al,

I run this report every month and it gives you a total for printer output and spooling (e.g. .75% of total storage, 250MB) and other usful information about your system storage use.

It requires 2 long-running jobs, so submit them over night or weekend:

RTVDSKINF (to collect the data)
PRTDSKINF RPTTYPE(*LIB) (to print the data)

Here's an example: Disk Space Report Page 1 5722SS1 V5R2M0 020719 SYSTEM2 01/03/05 04:09:37 System Information Information collected . . . . . . . . . : 12/31/04 03:45:09 Customize options specified for this report: Report type . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *LIB Total disk space on system in 1,000,000 Asp device . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SYSBAS bytes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 34360 Libraries . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ALL Main storage size in megabytes . . . . . : 128 Size of smallest library . . . . . . . : 0 Sort by . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SIZE Machine type-model . . . . . . . . . . . : 9406-600 System serial number . . . . . . . . . . : 10-xxxxx % of Size in Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes User libraries 44.30 15222.94 User directories 13.26 4556.67 Folders and documents .11 38.42 QSYS 8.99 3088.55 Other IBM libraries 9.37 3220.48 Licensed Internal Code 3.52 1209.22 Temporary space 2.21 760.76 Unused space 17.90 6149.41 System internal objects .35 118.57 Objects not in a library .26 89.13 TOTAL 100.27 34454.15

Hi Mapics ML:
I save many spool files in Queues under Work With All
Output Queues.  Over the last five years, I have
accumulated about 6,000 spool files contained in 15
Queues.
How do I determine how much memory, in Bytes, is used
up by these spool files in their respective queues?
I was hoping that the F24 More Keys command would
display this information on the screen but no such
luck.  :-(
Is there a CL command that I can enter that would show
me this information assuming I have authorization to
enter this command at my workstation?
