The resource implications of 'large' block sizes have disappeared, except for space usage. There are some old utilities that still require 'strange' block sizes, but I cannot see one bad usage of 27998, especially in Batch/TSO, as long as there is no hard-coded one in the programme using the dataset. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
