Is there an easy way to tell how much transcient space a session is
consuming??  Last week we had disc space problems because one of our
programmers logged on to our Production machine before 7:30 in the morning
and ran a multiple pass Quiz program with large subfiles.  He did not
logoff to get those temp files purged and was going to wait until noon to
continue processing.  Unfortunately at 11:20, we ran out of disc space on
that volume set (Yes, the system volume set where that TEST account
resides).  The first thing I checked was for anyone running Quiz (which
they are not supposed to do during the day).  On a wild hair - actually
past performance, I aborted that session and got two million sectors back
immediately.  Had I had something to tell how much transcient space he was
consuming I would have aborted him sooner.  This occurred again today but
fortunately I had installed a new disc drive over the weekend to combat
this.

P.S.  Any suggestions for what to do with those two programmers??  We have
the noose strung over the tree and would proceed but unfortunately Iowa
does not permit capital punishment yet!
