The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
A very full machine will run until it quits, but it may also corrupt
things so that it cannot restart. I know of at least one system that had
to be reloaded because the OS got corrupted.
It also gets more difficult to access a machine that's on the verge of
overflowing the DASD. When serial port communications was more common, the
machine would stop communications when DASD used got somewhere above 90%.
I haven't seen this issue on recent systems.

RE: dasd utilization at 99.56%
A very full system will continue to run in my opinion, although you
may
not like the method it chooses to run.
Unless it's changed since I last filled a machine (while ago) a
very-full machine will continue to run, but a totally full machine will
machine-check and go casters up.
