While I have never worked with "that" many outq entries, I did check the
file attributes for QSPL on V4R3 and there were (at the time) 4 files
with
all set to *NOMAX on number of members. I assume that there is some 
physical limit to the number of entries on any file but  *NOMAX would
lead one
to believe that is a very large number. You sure you don't have some
sort
of housekeeping routine that runs during the evening ????
