When I list the file, I get: list prb00000 dump0001 f (label FILENAME FILETYPE FM FORMAT LRECL RECS BLOCKS DATE TIME LABEL PRB00000 DUMP0001 F1 F 4096 734914 731217 8/15/06 21:01:14 DMP191 How is it that a format F file having LRECL 4096 uses 3697 fewer blocks than there are records when the disk is formatted with a block size of 4096?
