Peter, I think that VSAM will use as many buffers as there are available. In other words, if you have 2700 data buffers and read 2700 different CI's, VSAM will use all 270 buffers.
The question then is how much you can reduce the buffers without (significantly) increasing the EXCP count. I don't know how you can determine this other than testing at different levels. I'm curious as to why you are concerned with BLSR buffers. Do you have high paging counts when these jobs are running?
