Command interrupted to prevent WORK overflow

After upgrading to Adabas 744 we get the following error when an application is invoking a cobol module:
RESPCICS - ADABAS RESPONSE INTERPRETATION PROGRAM FOR ADABAS SQL
RESPONSE CODE: 8
SHORT TEXT:
Command interrupted to prevent WORK overflow. DB/FNR …/…

We have changed the LP parameter from 10000 (which previously worked with Ada 173) to 50000. This did not resolve the problem. We also increased the parameters as follows as in Production 713 and still get the same error:
LPB from 1500000 to 38000000
LFP from 500000 to 30000000
LWP from 1500000 to 3000000

We are running:
Natural 414
Ada Sql 231
Predict 441
Construct 511

Any help will be appreciated.

You are holding a record too long. What is the value of your TT parameter?

To correct the problem you need to either:

  1. Decrease TT (module holding the record will get Response Code = 9)
  2. Increase LP (may be simply hiding the problem)
  3. Correct the module holding the record to issue ET command more frequently

Just to report back on this error:
After a week of searching, started working backwards using the 713 installation. There are two products which the company use to do monitoring of Adabas viz TMON and CA-APAS.
What I found is that they built in-house customisation into CA-APAS to cater for TMON (which is now obselete) buffers in Adabas. Since I do not have assembler skill, I decided to relink CA-APAS with TMON in Adabas (fortunate enough the dataset still exists).
I then reduced the parameters to original sizes and tested succesfully.

Thanks for all your help, but I now have to remove TMON correctly for future generations.

Regards.
