MikeB, Not a simple anwser.....many, many variables (i.e. size of report, available memory, etc.). Not to mention it was at least 6 years ago! Just some thoughts/ideas... Are you using Performance Adjust or 3rd party "tuning" software? If so, whatever I say may not matter as it will be "tweeked" by either. If using a 3rd party product, look at the "adjustment" and/or priority values (if any) it might allow you to configure. I wouldn't recommend shifting in hugh chunks of memory though as you could negatively impact other jobs. Without really knowing what you are running or what you have "to play with", I'm a little reluctant to be more specific with any suggestions. It may be a simple case of trial and error on your part. It's important to keep in mind though, that, this is only ONE report. If memory is the culprit, IMHO you don't want to permanently assign memory to that pool just for one report.

Michael, I like this approach. Do you remember in % how much you increased it?

We had exact same problem "years ago" and the cure was adding additional memory to the *SPOOL memory pool. Of course you can always write a monitor utility but it won't really "fix" the problem.

First off, don't get your haircut. Just let it grow. Second, you would be treating the symptom and not the problem. You either don't have enough memory in your printer or your timeout settings on the printer need to be set higher. Another problem could be not enough memory in your *SPOOL shared memory pool on your iSeries. It may need more memory to do the EBCDIc-ASCII conversion. Maybe a mullet. Just thinking out loud here.
