Re: Too Much DASD

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

As near as I could tell, what happens is that the last 8 days of spool
entries are kept. New entries drop into the slots of old, empty entries. 
An old entry seems to be empty if printed and not saved, but the space on
dasd remains the same.  Therefore, the size of the area always ratchets up
if needed, but never ratchets back down.  My conclusion was that at some
time in the past a few run-away queries or something had blown this up to
huge proportions (we had literally thousands of empty entries).

#This is amazing.  Remember, RCLSPLSTG only removes empty QSPL members.
#What is the system value QRCLSPLSTG set at (the default og 8 is OK)?. 
#Did you create lots (e.g.: zillions) of spools prior to this???
