It means that a file area in the SFS (shared file system) needs 300 4k blocks defined. (SFS defaults to 4k blocksize) It should be defined in the VMSYS SFS, directory DFSMS, subdirectory CONTROL. You have to do this. DFSMS expects this file area to be defined. It is used for storing some control and config files req'd by DFSMS. Steve G.

Thanks in advance, Dave
