We recently investigated some problems we were having with detached processes started through LOGINOUT and our system wide login file. These processes were erroring out on a SET COMMAND with a quota exceeded diagnostic. We 'fixed' this by specifying a large page file quota on the RUN command. The only question remaining is how VMS uses the page file quota. the original quota came from a PQL_DPGFLQUOTA of 2048. A SHOW PROCESS/QUOTA showed a page file quota of 1111. Afer specifying RUN/PAGE=20000, SHOW PROCESS/QUOTA reported a page file quota of 19070. Evidentally, the specified quota is reduced by some 900 blocks. My question is what are these blocks used for and why are they accounted for in this way? I expected the page file quota to be what I specified on the RUN/PAGE command or the default value in PQL_DPGFLQUOTA.
