The blocksize must be a multiple of the LRECL which is 340. -----Original Message----- From: Lizette Koehler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 1:59 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: CA-1 reblocking "gotchas"?
I took our current TMC which as allocated at 900 Cyls using 450Cyls from unblocked to blocked. I used the TMSXTEND function - Very easy to use. Now my TMC is 189 Cyls (still way to big). The block used was BLKSIZE=8804 (the recommended size by CA) The task was very easy if you follow the steps documented. TMSXTEND is a different format - but it will allow you to extend the TMC tape range without a TAPE outage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
