We had a program go into a loop on a write to a spool file over the weekend.
The spool file got so large it eventually shut down the spoolers and more or
less hung the system.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to limit spool file size? I thought
I had figured this out before, but the dreaded CRS disease must be taking
it's toll (Can't Remember S...).

Apparently DISC= is ignored on spool files since the following did not limit
the size.

IP1080P1;DEV=SPCLS99;DISC=25000;ENV=SLPL132F.PRTENV.SYS

Any other suggestions? Anything I can do globally? I can not imagine any
legitimate reason why anything should ever create a spool file over 100,000
sectors.
