Avoiding "...Member is Full..." Message

You are running a job that outputs to a file, and suddenly you get the dreaded

CPA5305 Record not added. Member is full message. You have added 13,000 of

50,000 records. Your choices are to cancel the job, to change the member size

and restart it, or to answer the message 37 times with an I to ignore. An

easier way to solve the problem is to temporarily add a system reply list entry

with a value of I for message CPA5305.

ADDRPYLE SEQNBR(sequence_number) +

MSGID(CPA5305) RPY(I)

Use a sequence number not already used in your reply list. You can use the Work

with System Reply List Entry (WRKRPYLE) command to find an available number.

Change the job to use the system reply list for messages.

CHGJOB JOB(jobnbr/user/jobname) +

INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL)

Then answer the original message with an I. Any time the system sends CPA5305

message, the job will automatically answer with an I and will continue running.

When the job completes, remove the reply list entry.

RMVRPYLE SEQNBR(sequence_number)

Never again will you have to cancel and restart a job because you forgot to

change the maximum file size.
