Well, the average record size is about 640 Bytes and according to the Standard deviation of 283 over 95% of records should be smaller than 2K so I would use a 2K Blocksize not 4.

Since it's a dynamic file the modulo probably doesn't matter that much - but then I am fairly new to dynamic files so I guess 740972 is OK.

Mecki,

What block size and why?

Nothing really -  less than 10% overflow is not too bad.
I would have chosen a smaller block size though.

What is wrong with this file?
