No, I asked about 3390. The Wheelers responded that they had only older data
up to the 3380. That was the only reference to 3380s. (Others provided 3390
data.)

I'm boggled by this thing.

- I'm 99% sure only ~600 records were written.
- I'm 95% sure the extent was 104 tracks primary plus potentially 15 x 13
tracks secondary.
- The data is 121 bytes long
- The records should have been blocked to SDB.
How the heck did I run out of space?

To review, it's software with a lot of options and a lot of ability to pick
up defaults from many places, and I am dealing with multiple layers of
customer personnel - I have no ability to just "run a test" on the machine
in question. The problem is occurring only when my software is loaded by
another vendor product that I don't have here.

Interesting. I'm looking at the numbers above. The full extent would be 299
tracks. IF the records somehow got written LRECL= roughly 1/2 track
unblocked then it would run out of space at about 600 records. IF the vendor
product pre-set the file's attributes to LRECL= roughly 1/2 track then it
would account for this problem. That may be the angle I pursue.

That doesn't look right, but please consider my bad memory.  But wasn't the
track capacity for a 3380 - 47476???

i've done q&d conversion of the old gcard ios3270 to html.
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/gcard.html

it has record size calculations ... but it predated 3390 ... so only has
up thru 3380
