The SYSTEM-F-INSFMEM message refers to _process_ dynamic memory, not paged or nonpaged pool. Process dynamic memory is affected largely by the number of process-permanent files open, DCL symbols and process logical names. (The latter is the usual killer.) The size of process pool is affected by the CTLPAGES and PIOPAGES SYSGEN parameters. CTLPAGES is probably the one to hit. (PIOPAGES is used mostly for process-permanent files.) BTW: Does your paged pool need to be quite so large? Try running AUTOGEN a bit more often -- it looks like there's a bit of memory going to waste in nonpaged pool too. -- Don Stokes, ZL2TNM (DS555) don@zl2tnm.gen.nz (home) Network Manager, Computing Services Centre don@vuw.ac.nz (work) Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. +64-4-495-5052
