You can change the location of the dsmsched.log file by using the
schedlogname entry in dsm.sys, you can also prune this log by
using the schedlogretention parameter ( I use 10 d).  Your error
log should not be that big and/or growing, my log is only 13k in size
since July of 1996.  Your schedule log will grow but if you use the
retention parameter and not move your existing file it should get
pruned.  I put all my schedule log on a shared file system so I only
have to look in one place.
