Determining adequate disk storage

If you need to know how much disk storage is available on your system, use the Work with System Status (WRKSYSSTS) command.

  1. Type WRKSYSSTS at the command line.
    The Work with System Status display appears.
  2. Record the values that are shown for system auxiliary storage pool (ASP) and % system ASP used.
  3. Use those values in the formula that is shown below to calculate the available free space on your system: 
    
System ASP x (100 - % system ASP used) x 0.01 = Available disk storage

If the amount of storage is less than you need to complete your task, you must create more disk space. You can create more space by adding additional disk units or by cleaning your system of files and programs you no longer use.
