I am not the systems analyst for Templevm. I was told that it was not possible for us to store > 10000 reader files at any one time. This info was probably given to me prior to our upgrade to VM/XA though. Is there a way I can check to see exactly what the maximum number of reader files that this sysem can store? Since I only manage Listserv from home at night and the systems people never check their e-mail here, it is difficult for me to communicate with them so I would really like to know how I can find out how many reader files this system can store and how many more it could store if a system modification were made. Any help on this is appreciated. By the way, I have almost completeld my litle Rexx program. I can now type MAILMNG userid and it will merge all of that person's class M reader files into a single packed notebook which is returned to the user's reader. I plan on including a feature which will also send a mail file which explains what was done and how to read the mail from this notebook. This addresses the problem of non-technical people having difficulty with the new procedure. We also support only one mail program on this machine so that isn't a problem. I also have a SAS program which prepares a snapshot report of reader file usage. I will use this report to determine which users have too many reader files. Anyone who wants a copy of this SAS program can send me e-mail. I will also be glad to send anyone a copy of my MAILMNG EXEC when it's finished. I have a few tiny things to add to MAILMNG before it is ready for use. Stan Horwitz Listserv Postmaster Temple University Acknowledge to: OASIS@TEMPLEVM (or VM.TEMPLE.EDU)
