Use the following command when running the output queue monitor ERSMON in batch mode. This will insure that the job message queue wraps automatically when it fills up. Each AS/400 job typically has a maximum job message queue size of 2-64MB. The JOBMSGQFL parameter on the SBMJOB command controls the action performed when a job message queue fills up for a long running or never ending job. When this value is set to *WRAP, the old job messages will get truncated and the job will continue without problems. 

 

Here's a sample CL command to submit the output queue monitor job to batch to end at 10:00pm :

SBMJOB CMD(RJSERS/ERSMON DELAY(*DELAY) DLYTIM(300) ENDTIME(220000)) JOB(EMRPT400) JOBMSGQFL(*WRAP)
