- You've got the wrong dynamic memory. The SYSTEM-F-INSFMEM message refers
- to _process_ dynamic memory, not paged or nonpaged pool.
-
- Process dynamic memory is affected largely by the number of process-permanent
- files open, DCL symbols and process logical names. (The latter is the usual
- killer.)
-
- The size of process pool is affected by the CTLPAGES and PIOPAGES SYSGEN
- parameters. CTLPAGES is probably the one to hit. (PIOPAGES is used mostly
- for process-permanent files.)
-
- BTW: Does your paged pool need to be quite so large? Try running AUTOGEN
- a bit more often -- it looks like there's a bit of memory going to waste
- in nonpaged pool too.
