QSPL question/limit

["Marion, Bob" <Bob.Marion@xxxxxx>]

Greetings:

I may have hit a another system limit or a system bug and wanted to see if
anyone else has experienced this situation(V4R4).  In April and May (15th) a
large number of spool files just disappeared without the deletion logging in
DSPLOG, SST, DSPJOLOG, Performance tools or auditing log and no job came out
of job scheduler at that time.  We are doing a large back file project for a
customer for COLD, in April one outq  went from about 150,000 Spoolfiles to
105,000 without a trace, at the time I chalked it up to some undeterminable
human error.  I then created an outq in a private library(not in*LIBL) and
moved the spoolfiles there and added more spooolfiles and was up to 180,000,
then on 5/15 within 5 mins the total number went from about 180,000 to
105,000 and the spoolfiles that disappeared were the 80,000 most current
spoolfiles.  QSPL is about 63GB and currently about 311 PFs in QSPL.  It
looks like the system maintains a maximum of 1001 members per PF file in
QSPL..  DSPLIB shows no damaged object.  Profile QSPL is 54% full.

My logic says for some reason the system is deleting active members in the
PF, the other common fact is both times the outq went down to about 105,000.

TIA
