We have a Chinese Encyclopedia with over 1500 volumes. When you search for it on our OPAC it either causes CICS to loop or generates storage violations until CICS crashes. Notis says the number of volumes is more than was planned for in the implementation of Notis and the search porgram does not check to see if the amount of temporary storage allocated for searches has been exceeded. When we search for the Encyclopedia and it uses up all its work space, it starts writing over pieces of CICS. If anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it. Right now the only solution we have is to split the Encyclopedia into smaller groups and make copy holdings for each group. Thanks for the help John Pillans Cal State University, Long Beach
