Re: Max spool entries 10,000 per JOB??

[mcrump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Tim, you have hit the wall of a long standing OS/400 limitation.  This
limitation has been in place for as long as I know.  The limit is for how many
spooled files a job can create.  The print file attribute you mentioned is for
the maximum number of records that a given spool file can contain.

There is no way to modify this limit via job or system attributes.  It comes
down to job structure and arbitrary limits I believe.  Nice idea for COMMON.

Subject:  Max spool entries 10,000 per JOB??





Hello All,
We have a job that runs daily and sends individual prints (spool
entries) to an OUTQ which is directed to a Faxing utility to perform the
Fax.  Lately this job will exceed 10,000 spool entries during its daily
run, and error out.
I am getting this message (CPF4167 below) that says the number of spool
entries cannot exceed 10,000 per job.  I have checked the QSYSPRT *prtf
and it says *NOMAX,  what am I missing?
Thanks in advance,

===== error message. ======================

Message . . . . :   Job cannot create any more spooled files.

Cause . . . . . :   An attempt was made to create more than the maximum
number (9,999) of spooled files for the job, or there is no room
remaining in the job structure to create the file. Recovery  . . . :
For a job in an interactive environment, sign off and then sign on
again. For a job in a batch environment, divide the job so that fewer
files are opened in one job.
