Of course I could suggest the user to simplify the shell command, but is there a system solution. Our AIX level is: 5300-09-05-0943

Of course it all depends what exactly he's doing with the "tr" command. If he's trying to parse something that has a gazillion parameters, then it's possible that he's hitting the cap of allocated memory for a parameter list.

AIX has a static variable that can't be changed that defines that amount of memory that can be used for a parameter string on any given command. It's something like 24k where Solaris is like 4meg. A work around is to take pinned RAM with this command:

chdev –l sys0 –a ncargs=1024

Again, I'm not sure if the "There is not enough storage available" error for tr is the same thing, but this might be worth a try.
