Environment

OM Spool

Cause

One possible reason is that the number of concurrent transfers exceeded the value of the parameter MAXPROCUSER for this LPAR. This is an OMVS parameter.

Resolution

Increase the value of the parameter MAXPROCUSER in the BPXPRMnn member of the SYS1.PARMLIB library.

You can also change the maximum number of processes at user level by making an adjustment in the external security profile (RACF, TSS or ACF2) for the creator of the file.

For TSS (Top Secret) sites:

For ACF2 sites:

For RACF sites (see at the bottom of the page):
