I just discovered something about PDS/Es that I don't remember being discussed. This discussion inspired me to copy my JCL PDS to a PDS/E on one of my accounts. Notice that the % full went from 62 to 95%. I used the same blksize. I figured that since the PDS was 62% full, I'd make the PDS/E 2 cylinders less. Here are the results:
Tracks % XT Device Dsorg Recfm Lrecl Blksz ------------------------------------------------ $IQLG.JCL.CNTL 120 62 1 3390 PO FB 80 7520 ------------------------------------------------ $IQLG.JCLN.CNTL 120 95 2 3390 PO-E FB 80 7520 That's almost a third more space used. Any comments? I'm sure there are a few who know why that is out there. This PDS has just over a thousand members.
