Hi,

There is a patch for the pstat function in 11.0 - PHKL_26008. Try applying this patch. That may help you.

HTH,

Don't try and get all the results in one hit, instead do them in batches. See the pstat man page for details in how to batch the results. The pstat interface has to cache its answers somewhere and that space is limited. If you try and pull back too many resulys at the same time, you'll get the error you described.
