Hi,

not the primary (or am I missing it?)."

Does the DSCB-1 differentiate between Primary and Secondary requests? Combined 
DSCB-1 and DSCB-2 will hold 16 extents worth of information. Surely there is no 
need to hold a specific primary quantity as the request will have been 
satisfied in up to 5 extents depending upon whether CONTIG has been specified 
or not. The converse of course is that the secondary request, needs to be held 
to allow for growth up to the 16 extents limit of the DSCB-1/2 pair for a 
volume.

Does ISPF actually report a definite valued, or does it calculate a value based 
on the first n extents? I seem to recall reading somewhere that some component 
did this but Virtual Memory has gotten to that stage where I can neither 
remember the component or where I read it.

Kind regards - Terry
