Verify that the amount following avail to perm space is greater than or at least equal to the axldev1 value.

Make additional space on the system by storing files to tape using the PURGE option to purge the stored files from the system.

Some files are scheduled to be stored and purged as part of the preparation process. These files include USL, UNL, UXL, spool files, and log files. Estimate the size of these files and determine if you will have enough disk space after they are purged.
