So does the technology under extended format PS datasets that are read and written using SAM. There is a nominal block size in the DSCB used when reading and writing with BSAM... but there's no attempt to record the original block boundaries. NOTE/POINT returns something more like an RBA (ala VSAM ESDS) than a TTR. -- John R.
