Ed:
Some time ago (before the binder IIRC) the input into the link editor
had a max block size of 3200 (if memory serves me). I think with the
binder the restriction has been removed.

I took the giant leap several years ago and stopped using 3120 for

I hard-code 27920. Not as wonderful as 0, but better than 3120.
Several
years now with no issues.

Subject: BLKSIZE=3120
A customer (mildly) complained thatsome of our product allocations
still use
BLKSIZE=3120. I vaguely remember trying to change all of them to
BLKSIZE=0 many years ago (probably before OS/390) and running into
some
issues with certain IBM utilities. Unfortunately, I can't remember the
specifics.
In starting to revisit this again, I noticed numerousoccurrences of
'3120'
in IBM help and documentation. For example, the TSO/E RECEIVE
command HELP
claims that the log data set must be BLKSIZE=3120:
<TSO/E RECEIVE command HELP>
LOGDATASET You may specify an alternate data set to be
used for the logging of the transmitted data.
This data set will be created if it does not
exist. The data set should be created with
a logical record length of 255, a record format
of VB and a blocksize of 3120.

LOGDSNAME You may specify an alternate data set to be
used for the logging of the transmitted data.
This data set will be created if it does not
exist. The data set should be created with
a logical record length of 255, a record format
of VB and a blocksize of 3120.
</TSO/E RECEIVE command HELP>
Is this just outdated help? Or does this restriction still exist?
