Temporary space is related to the jobs you are running in your system. I
think the following article can be of interest:

It's of interest, but I don't see how it addresses the issue.

I have noticed that the temporary storage is essentially monotonically
increasing. It goes up every week almost without fail, and goes up a
good chunk each week.

It's not that there are any runaway jobs in the system. Everything
seems to be running and ending normally. It feels like a "disk leak".
Just as I can be sure my Web browser is going to eat up more and more
memory until I restart it, I can be sure the temporary space is going
to eat up more and more disk until we restart the i.

Rob and I are not the only ones to notice this. The sibling questions
of "what is causing *TMPSPACE to keep growing?" and "how do we reclaim
*TMPSPACE?" keep popping up (infrequently, but definitely repeatedly)
on these lists. The only answers I've seen are "we don't know, and
there's no reliable way to find out" and "IPL".
