Space limitations 

Since spool files are permanent disk files, their size limit is 4
gigabytes.  This is currently the file size limit of any MPE/iX disk
file.

You may want to limit the linked spool file space on the HPSPOOL account
and on its groups IN and OUT by using the ALTACCT and ALTGROUP commands,
respectively.  If you do this and encounter a directory file space limit
on HPSPOOL or its IN or OUT groups at the time of the creation of a
linked spool file, all spooling queues are globally disabled.  A message
is displayed on the system console stating that all spooling queues are
disabled because of an account or group file space limit.  You must use
the OPENQ @@ command when the condition is resolved.  The message is as
follows:
________________________________________________
|                                              |
|                                              |
|      ALL SPOOLING QUEUES HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY  |
|      DISABLED DUE TO A FILE SPACE LIMIT ON   |
|      THE HPSPOOL ACCOUNT OR ITS GROUPS. USE  |
|      THE OPENQ @@ COMMAND TO GLOBALLY ENABLE |
|      THE SPOOLING QUEUES WHEN THE            |
|      CONDITION HAS BEEN CORRECTED.           |
|                                              |

You may also run out of system domain disk space available to spool
files.  If this happens, all spooling queues are globally disabled and a
similar message to the previous one is displayed.  The message is as
follows:
_______________________________________________
|                                             |
|                                             |
|      ALL SPOOLING QUEUES HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY |
|      DISABLED DUE TO LACK OF SYSTEM DISK    |
|      SPACE. USE THE OPENQ @@ COMMAND TO     |
|      GLOBALLY ENABLE THE SPOOLING QUEUES    |
|      WHEN THE CONDITION HAS BEEN CORRECTED. |
|                                             |
