Environment

z/OS 2.2
Dispatch 11.7
CA Spool 12.0

Cause

The U0722 abend in the CA Dispatch RPO subtask was due to exceeding the OUTLIM parameter defined to the CA Spool printer the report was printing on.

Resolution

The recommendation from CA Spool support for prevention of the abend is to increase the CA Spool printers OUTLIM value.
