Have had this due to a query from hell taking up 30% of the machine and
taking the machine down, we have now limited query output to a specific
number of records to stop it happening again

Cheers

I had this happen a few years back,
its a frightening experience seeing your disk space
dis-appear before your eyes!!

Just like you, we did an IPL and everything was
back to normal.

I can only assume that a job or session got into some
sort of loop and filled up available disk space with
program dumps.

Has not happened again since.
