Since this thread will not die, I would like to comment about the various opinions on blksize of loadlibs.
Our large production loadlibs (>10,000 trks used) contain mostly Cobol modules that support various combinations of DB2 IMS CICS MQ. The module sizes vary downward from X'350000' - about 3 meg. The number of records for that module is 289. With that many TXT records, I don't understand why one would use other than 1/2 trk blocking (27998 for "3390")? This is especially true in our environment since there are three of these libraries existing on each of 11 production plexes. As Everett Dirkson once almost said, a gigabit here a gigabit there and soon you're talking real storage.
