09002: Available Volume Space Shortage


    FILE:             VOA Volume Allocation File
    SAS FILE NAME:    DETAIL.VCAVOA01
    SOURCE LOCATION:  prefix.MICS.USER.SOURCE(DYVCAEXC)

    SEVERITY:         Impacting     (SEVERITY='I')
    MANAGEMENT AREA:  Availability  (MGMTAREA='AVAILABILITY')

    PURPOSE:   Identifies when the volume's space available
for allocation falls below a specified level.

    RATIONALE:  It is important that there be a sufficient
amount of available space on a volume so that new data sets
can be allocated and old data sets can be extended.

    DEFINITION:  This exception is detected when the amount
of available space (VOASPACF) drops below the specified
minimum number of tracks.

    EXCEPTION STATEMENTS:  The SAS statements identifying the
exception situation and describing the condition are stored
in the source member named in SOURCE LOCATION and are
described below:

/*                                                         */

END;

    THRESHOLD MODIFICATION:  The user should modify the
#freesp value according to the following conventions:

    #freesp -  The minimum acceptable amount of space
         available for allocation, specified in tracks.  A
         minimum amount of 500 free tracks would appear as:

         VOASPACF LT 500
