I have a quick question I was hoping someone could answer. This is probably documented out there somewhere but I can't find it. When I allocate a PDS in blocks for example with DCB values of LRECL=80,blksize=27920,space=(27920,(6,2,10)), I notice that an extra couple of blocks (1 track) is added to the primary allocation. I'm guessing when allocating a PDS in blocks, the directory blocks called for, in this case 10 (1 block rounded up to fill out the track to 2 blocks) are added in to the primary allocation separately. Is this correct?? When allocating in tracks or cylinders, the directory blocks are allocated directly out of the primary allocation there for you get exactly the allocation you asked for. Thanks for the help.
