We have a system with an unusually high number of jobs (200,000).

We were able to axe a bunch of splf but the number is still high.

We know that the IBM I keeps track of any fragment of a job (ie: spool file) and counts that as a job until every frag is gone.

How can we assess what is keeping that number so high?

Thx,

Jerry
