Depends on what you mean by allocated.

I'm confused here. How can the string 'FOW123' have a value '666123'?
The string is its value.
I thought that maybe today JES2 stores it in its own,
compressed, format regardless of what I specify.
The natural choice if thinking in terms of normal dataset
IO would of course be VB as You suggest.

What the others have told is correct. However, one more thing to be aware
with STK drives is that there is an option to perform a fast erase and a
