I would like to know the difference between the error code B-37 and E-37. Both relate to space shortage during allocation but an eexample would definitely help clarify the difference.
Hi
B-37 - Disk volume out of space, can't write output. The system gave all the primary space and as much as secondary space it could
E-37 - There was insufficient space on the volume. To solve this problem is specify more volumes in JCL
Thanx a lot for pointing me in the right direction guys..
From what I gleaned,
SB37 -- End of volume .. this may be solved by reducing the primary or secondary space requests, i.e., the system is unable to allocate the requested space in one volume. Another alternative would be to exactly specify a particular volume serial which has the space needed. A third way might be to request the allocation to be done on multiple volumes.
SE37 -- End of extents... this would mean that the maximum space allocated (primary +16 extents) is not sufficient to hold the entire data. This implies we have to increase the primary /secondary space allocation parameters.
