Bruce, I don't want to go up against you in a DASD knowledge battle (I know
I would lose), but my copy of "IBM 3390 Direct Access Storage Reference
Summary", GX26-4577-2, August 1990, Table 2 (3390 mode), page 10, says that
255 to 288 byte blocks with keys of 1-22 bytes are max 45 to the track (not
46), so wouldn't the formula be 44+(45*n) as was mentioned in a prior reply?
You win! (this time). The 3380 had 46 directory blocks per track, while
the 3390 holds only 45.
