I've run into an issue that I can't figure out. When using BPXWDYN and trying to use AVGREC parm, the dynamic allocation request is using a HUGE (like 65536000 KB) space allocation request, even though the request is for LRECL(32) and AVGREC(K) with SPACE(8000,500). The REQUEST does have BLKSIZE(0) specified, but even if I code a BLKSIZE appropriate for this dataset, I still get the wacky allocation.
The actual command is: ALLOC DSN('xx.xx.xx(+1)') FI(DD1) NEW CATALOG RELEASE LRECL(32) MOUNT BLKSIZE(0) AVGREC(K) GDGNT SPACE(8000,500) RECFM(F,B) DSORG(PS) Why is it not using the right space allocation request? BTW, this is on z/OS 2.1.
