But, still, why can't the computer perform the algebra for me? And what is the etymology of "AVGREC"? It seems to suggest "Average Record Size"; it means nothing of the sort.
(Or, even, "SPACE=(1,54000M)", or even, "SPACE=(1,54G)"?) (Is there a default for the SPACE unit? If not, I'd suggest "1", as in "SPACE=(,54000000000)".) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
