Hi,

Would anybody please tell me why the below warning message appears on a JCL?

I tried google to find the reason for the warning CAY6148W but found none.

Sounds like you are allocating more space that you need. It looks like a Computer Associates message. How much of the space allocated is actually being used?

I constantly wonder why people post SITE SPECIFIC questions on this forum (and other forums).

Talk to your system support people for what ever product is being invoked by the submit exit.

I wonder that too, but then when I was a beginner, it wasn't always obvious what was site specific and what wasn't. The same was true for COBOL. Since I've used IBM COBOL most of the time, when I switched to Univac at one shop, I then realized that I had been using a lot of IBM extensions to COBOL that were not valid with Univac's COBOL.
An interesting sideline: An old version of Univac's COBOL had a special register called current date that had the format mm/dd/yyddd. If you moved it to an 8 character field, you got the leftmost 8 bytes. If you moved it to a 5 character field, you got the rightmost 5 bytes!

That isn't necessarily site specific. It is a non-IBM message, but could be available at many sites, especially if it is a CA product or something very system-ish. I suspect that most sites don't write a lot of system level code these days so although something that deals with things like system resource utilization might be locally written exits, they are more likely commercial products and hence fair game for a public forum.

I must add though, that I wouldn't quite extend such latitude to people answering questions. It should be the responsibility of the respondents to find out if suggested tools and commands are part of the base system or commonly available products (schedulers, fileaid, etc) mods before answering questions.
