Justin,

You can do a couple of things:

1.)  If you own PFRT/400 you can use WRKSYSACT:

A.  Press F16 and sequence by 'net storage used'... option 3
B.  After a period of time you can refresh, F11 key 3 times to see the
'Allocated storage' for each job.

2.) Use SST

A. enter STRSST & sign-on to the service tools
B. Select Option 1   "Start a service tool"
C. Select Option 4   "Display/Alter/Dump"
D. Select Option 2   "Dump to printer"
E. Select Option 2   "Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data"
F. Select Option 14  "Advanced analysis"
G. Type a '1' in the Option field and type "processinfo -frames 0" in the
Command field & press Enter
H. Just press Enter on the "Specify Advanced Analysis Options" screen.

I. Enter a dump title & press Enter.  You'll get a message "Dump to printer
successfully submitted." to appear at the
       bottom of the screen.
J. Wait a few minutes 2 minutes, then press the F3 key.  You should get a
message "Dump completed normally" at the bottom of the screen.
   If not, Select option 7 to display the dump status.  Press the F5 key
until the "Dump completed normally" appears.


Exit the Service Tools and you should have a spool file named QPCSMPRT.
This file has information about each job on the system.
One piece of data is "Temp Aux storage used".  Review this field for each
job to try & find a job that is using an unusual amount of temp
storage.

The report has a lot of stuff in it and can be a decent size.  I copy it to
a PF file so I can select the records that I want to help reduce the amount
of data.  With very simple SQL steps you can easily create two lines of
data for each job and it's associated storage.

If something seems out of the ordinary you might want to check for PTF's
involving temporary storage.

I've asked this once before, never got an answer - perhaps some new blood
in
the list (or someone who may have passed-by it in the past) can shed some
light on this.

On a WRKSYSSTS screen you have the "current unprotect used" and "maximum
unprotect" - I equate this to essentially being like virtual memory on a
PC.

What I don't know is an easy way to see WHAT is using it.  I do know that
runaway ODBC jobs can start chewing it up - you kill the job, the usage
goes
down.  I don't know how to see any other use.

Is there an easy command or way to see what is consuming this unprotect
memory, since it does eat DASD just as an object would.  Thanks in advance
for the assistance.
