Here, under V2.1 FB 80 with empty blocksize still gives 27920. It must be something in ACS routines or SDB settings(?).

For years, I used to allocate data sets in ISPF 3.2, leaving the block size field empty. The system then calculated the block size based on RECFM anf LRECL. The result was half track blocking. At my new employer, I get the block size set to maximum (for RECFM & LRECL), so FB-80 leads to 32720. This is z/OS V2.1. This is only via ISPF 3.2; in batch, I still get half track blocking. What am I missing? -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
