Issue/Introduction

When the Dataquery batch work file DQW needs to be increased in size , it has to be formatted with at least the same number of partitions it currently has.

This article provides a way to find out the number of partitions by running a batch report.

Resolution

Execute program DQWFINIT with input card DQW ??? . 

Note: "DQW" is in positions 1-3 and "???" in positions 5-7 as follows:

//SYSIN DD *
DQW ???
/*

The output report looks like this:

where nn is the current number of partitions.
