RE: spool file limit

You have to keep track of the number of spool files that the job has
created. When it gets close to the limit, you need to have the CL submit
itself to batch again (this creates a new job). After you do the SBMJOB in
the CL, do a RETURN to terminate the current job. Then the new job takes
over.
 
The limit used to be 9999 spool files per job.

Subject: spool file limit



I have a job which send sends spool files , they are used for formatting for
diff reasons, and the job has got DLTSPLF command at the end . So the job on
qbatch creates spool files and they get used for formatting  and finally get
deleted by DLTSPLF command...
I see this job get into MSGW over a period of time which indicates me that
there is some maximum limit for creating spool files..
Does it have any limit?
Is the limit 999999 as we see in CHGSPLFA or any other reason that can be
think of for getting into MSGW?
 Spooled file number  . . . . . .   *ONLY         1-999999, *ONLY, *LAST,
*ANY
