Hi, I am probably asking a very simple Question but I am unable to interpret Properly. I tried allocating a PS file with space Unit=Bytes, Primary as "1",RECFM=FB,LRECL=80, but when I view the Dataset Information shows the primary Extent is occupied with *55840 bytes* :
General Data Current Allocation Management class . . : **None** Allocated bytes . . : 55,840 Storage class . . . : STANDARD Allocated extents . : 1 Volume serial . . . : MTWK06 Device type . . . . : 3390 Data class . . . . . : **None** Organization . . . : PS Current Utilization Record format . . . : FB Used bytes . . . . : 0 Record length . . . : 80 Used extents . . . : 0 Block size . . . . : 27920 1st extent bytes . : *55840* Secondary bytes . . : 0 Dates Data set name type : Creation date . . . : 2012/08/08 SMS Compressible. . : NO Referenced date . . : ***None*** Expiration date . . : ***None*** Could anyone please enlighten me how does the Primary Value gets generated as 55840 bytes ? Does it mean it is treating the Primary extent as 2 Blocks on a Track which would be 55,840 bytes ?
