Sure they are trivial - until we move into an environment where there are multiple DASD sizes with different optimal BLKSIZE needs. The programmer shouldn't care what disk his files are in - the systems people should have the ability to quickly and easily move the files depending on current needs. When they move them, they should be able to adjust the buffering without recompiling and changing JCL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
