WRKACTJOB

["Popeil, Russ" <Russ.Popeil@xxxxxxxxx>]

 27,000+ jobs is a seem very high. 
 How many of those jobs are old spool files?
 What values do you have for the following system values. 

QTOTJOB represents the minimum number of jobs for which storage is
allocated.  The number of jobs is the number supported by the system at
any one time, which includes the jobs on job queues, active jobs
(including system jobs), and jobs having output on output queues.Note:
You should set this value high enough so it will not normally be
exceeded by the total number of         jobs.
         
QACTJOB is the initial number of active jobs for which auxiliary storage
is to be allocated during IPL.  An active job is a job that has started
running but not ended.  This storage is in addition to the      storage
allocated using thesystem value QTOTJOB. Note:  You should set this
value high enough so that storage does not need to be allocated for
additional active jobs using the system value QADLACTJ.
 
How often does the system with 27,000+ jobs get IPL'd. 
The system keeps tract of all jobs active and old spooled jobs in the
Work control block table.
The larger the table the slower the WRKACTJOB Command. Plus other things
will slow up when the system allocates more room in the table. See
QADLACTJ system value
