I am facing space issues with my job. It is dealing with large amount of data; around 10 million records. I am using flat files.

Here's the abend details:

Hello,

You need to talk with your storage administration people and make sure that the dataclas/unit and space parameters for your job have been set up properly.

Did you look up the meaning of this:

Hi,

it looks like you don't have enough space to fulfil your requirement. All space was filled on the volume, and an attempt was made to obtain space on the next volume without much luck.

First of all check how much space is going to be required and the space available, you may want to write the output to cart.

Maybe your space allocation is too big especially if the volumes are fragmented.

Thanks...

issue has been reported to the storage management people and they are now creating separate room for the job. Will update the column with the results.....

Please guide me on how can I check the space required...
lrecl = 1300 ;;; recfm = vb
amount of data to be handled = around 10,000,000 records

Hi,

the table below will allow you to roughly workout the amount of space required.

Being a VB file you really need to the know the average length to get a more accurate result.

The optimum blocksize should be 27998 for a 3390 device.

Assuming that each record uses the maximum length, you are looking at around 16,000 cylinders here.

I would seriously consider using cartridge as output, or maybe using a smaller allocation and the maximum DASD count allocation

(CYL,(100,100),RLSE),VOL=(,,,59)
