Situation came up on a client site where they received a very large file, 2.988 million records, and allocate the file size at (cyl,(2500,100)) with a unit parameter of sysda,10; the file is received across 2 volumes in 20 extents totaling 4,331 cylinders. I am not concerned about the extents, what I don't understand is the space allocation.
