CAL2S4000I - Allocated 256 MB (64 bit) for JCL Statements

On subsequent ERST, CA7 ABENDs with S722. 

 

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA 7

Cause

One or multiple jobs with excessive JCL statements.

Resolution

Resolution steps:

1. Identify the job that needs to be cleaned up using the following SQL statements (DBSQLPR) :
   //OPTIONS DD *             
   PRTWIDTH=255               
   INPUTWIDTH=70              
   ROWLIMIT=5000              
   AUTHID=MFWA                
   NOTYPE                     
   //SYSIN DD *               
   SELECT CA7#,               
   COUNT(*) FROM CA7_ACT_JCL  
   WHERE DB = 'your_logical_db_name'         
   GROUP BY CA7#;
2. Start CA 7 with the queues stopped (STOPQ=YES on the SCHEDULE statement in the INIT deck) so that submission will not be attempted until you can address the job with excessive JCL.
3. Cancel the job that was found causing problems and start the queues back up.
