First step has to be making certain that the system has the last PTFs available. There won’t be any more than those that already exist for V5R3. (…Unless you can contract IBM to do it.)

Next, clearly something has changed. It might only be that a library now has one more object than it had the day before or that a critical profile now owns one more object, but there’s no doubt that something changed.

It seems plausible that some limit has been exceeded that wasn’t reached before. Some combination of too many private authorities or too many devices being varied off at once or too many concurrent calls into the system database or… who knows?

You might look into the VLOG to see what, if anything, was logged at that time. You might also try WRKPRB to see if any problem data was recorded.

You possibly should see about a more robust backup program. Code a program that runs steps mostly along the lines of your iSeries Daily Backup, but break parts out so that small groups of libraries or directories are saved at a time. Unfortunately, at V5R3, custom programming is about the only direction possible (if existing PTFs can’t help).

Message . . . . :   Module limitation exceeded.
Cause . . . . . :   An internal part of the module exceeds allowed size.

It seems related to what you posted, but it definitely isn’t the same message.

Can you give a little more detail?
