Re: QSPL library useing 15% of the disk space...

Rob--

Thanks for providing the sys value

Bob--

Sorry I didn't answer-- I had to get ready for work.

A word about the QRCLSPLSTG value--  increasing it from 5 to 35 days 
will -increase- the storage required for file members in QSPL.  Of 
course, the space required to keep a single empty file member around 
isn't much, but if there are a lot, the space will add up.

Check out the help text for the system value--  there are some 
comments about when an unused member is actually cleared-- it all 
depends on how active the system is.  IIRC, there's a never-ending 
system job that checks for unused members and clears them as a 
background task.  If the system is active, a member may be assigned 
to a job when it hasn't been cleared, so it is cleared at the time it 
is assigned to the job.

ps-- Have you found the objects taking up your space?
