RE: Maximum library size

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

I have hit the ownership limit (with rather destructive results). It was 
awful hard to track down as the message is somewhat vague. When a message 
is telling you a user profile is full and the storage is specified as 
*NOMAX it turns into a bit of a head-scratcher. IBM were a little baffled 
at first, but eventually (after the problem recurred 2 days later) I got 
onto someone who was able to point me in the right direction. Like you I 
eventually stumbled on the PCTFULL report, although this was a coincidence 
- I was doing some security stuff.

I regularly approach the 32,767 limit on members in a physical file (and 
have hit it once) as we have a system that receives files from a Unix box 
via FTP and adds them as new members in a file. This is the underlying 
design problem that caused my ownership problem - the same profile used to 
own the file receiving new members and the archived members.

Regards
Evan Harris
