>someone will correct me if I am incorrect - but i believe that the maximum blocksize on DASD (3390-compatible) to assure 2 blocks per track is 27998
That is correct. But, that is not the statement I was responding to. IBM allows you to shoot yourself in the foot, and you can specify a blocksize greater than 27998. BTW, you can specify greater than 32760. I specify 32767 with SMF data all the time on disk. - 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
