<span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial">Kristy, there is no equivalent
to the -e option in the quota API. If your application receives negative
quota values it is suggested that you use the mmlsquota command with the
-e option to obtain the most recent quota usage information, or run the
mmcheckquota command. Using either the -e option to mmlsquota or
the mmcheckquota is an IO intensive operation so it would be wise not to
run the command when the system is heavily loaded. Note that using
the mmcheckquota command does provide QoS options to mitigate the impact
of the operation on the cluster.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Regards, The Spectrum
