Thanks Kolusu.
I did search in google before posting the issue here but didn't get any work around from the search results.

Can somebody please help me out ?
I'm not using any ISPF panels. It's just reading a file (character by character) and based on some condition create a report file. But the job is abending while processing huge files.

When you use EXECIO, you are typically reading one record at a time into the stack:

EXECIO 1 DISKR ddname

processing the record:

PARSE PULL the_record

and then either pushing it out for a write:

PUSH the_record
EXECIO 1 DISKW ddname

or just moving on to the next record.

I could definitely see a problem running out of storage if you're trying to read too many records at one time.

This can also occur by using too many CALL's and/or SIGNAL's.

superk,
Actually this is related to a previous post of mine http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?t=7132
that has been answered ny Semigeezer. I'm trying to read each character and mathing for a pattern. It's working fine if the file is of limited size or the LRECL of limited length. But when Itried to process a huge file with 26600 length and of millions of record (I'm running this in batch), I'm getting the Machine storage exhausted error. The Rexx is running thru fine when I split the file into halves. Please help.

I'm agree with superk... are you doing a "execio * diskr" ?

acevedo,
Yes, I 'm using 'execio * diskr'. Is there any work around for it.

Read n number of lines (e.g. 100) at a time.

Thank you danm. It worked.
I'm a newbie in Rexx.
