ITYM because a 3390 track will hold 45 directory blocks. That might or

not mean that you won't run out of directory space, though. Certainly, I
think
a direcrtory should have room to allow for more members or more
information in
the user data.
My gripe is that there is NO REASON for a vendor to be stingy with
directory blocks. I hate it when the initial install goes OK, then the
first maintenance tape causes me 5 runs because 4 datasets run out of
directory blocks.
You'd think that they were paying for the disk space.
Neal,
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I took so much crap for this one. Guess you and I are
the only ones that think running out of directory blocks during maintenance
because the initial install specified 10 is stupid.
