AMA580E
DIRECTORY TABLE OVERFLOW - INCREASE REGION SIZE

Explanation

The maximum number of members that can be stored in the directory table has been reached. The utility attempts to get a maximum of 6 MB of below the line storage (due to I/O processing limitations) for the directory table. If the utility gets all 6 MB, it can process a maximum of 82782 members from a PDS data set. The maximum amount of storage it gets is dependent upon a number of factors. This message indicates one of three possibilities. Two are beyond the control of the utility user: either the utility got 6 MB, or the utility got less than 6 MB because of system constraints. In either case, the maximum number of members it could process was exceeded. For details about storage available to an application, refer to the discussions of the REGION parameter in z/OS MVS JCL Reference. The third possibility is that the REGION size specified for the job that this utility runs under was too small. For this last case, see the user response.
