I have a question I was hoping someone on the board would have some
experience
with. I'm converting many of our PDSs to PDSEs. Most of these datasets
are
LRECL=80 and RECFM=FB. The default blksize (which I typically take) for
the
PDS is 27920 while the default for the PDSE is 32720. I'm curious if
its fine
to take the default of 32720 even though its not using half track
blocking like
the PDS. Is it safe going with the default or am I wasting a bunch of
space?
Does it matter with PDSE's since they are radand written to differently?
AFAIK PDSE fakes the blocksize. It uses 4kB blocks, but can present
other value as a blocksize.
