That would certainly be an improvement!  I haven't had to deal with accounts
that were short on DASD since V2R3.  Back then, we used to do a lot of work at
the office and then transfer it via dial-up.  SNADS would run for 4 hours or
more, then blow off with the "System at storage threshold" message.  I _STILL_
check WRKSYSSTS prior to performing a SNDNETF!
