Hello all

We have VSAM allocated with RECORDS(pri sec)

Doc AMS reference for DFSMS 140 say s :

The maximum number of records is 16,777,215.

Is this limit valid for basic VSAM and extended format VSAM ?


I think the limit apply only for DEF CLUSTER statement.
If you need more records simple replace RECORDS(x,y) with CYL(a,b)
VSAM limit are:
4GB for non-EA
or
4G * CISIZE for EA
AND
other limits like
max. 59 volumes,
physically available space.

Does this means that there is no logical limit for the number of records,
only physical ones :

size of 4GB * cisize
59 volumes
