Same here! Their reason: "I understand what a track and a cylinder
is!"
Like they didn't understand allocation by number of records for some
reason. Or in MiB or GiB. Nope, gotta be in tracks or cylinders
because
they understand how big that is. HUH???
John,
I have heard that its easier to figure out trks/cyl than number of
records. I always ask back why? Now I may understand the first run
(maybe) after that you should know exactly (or at least to closest K
# of recs). I am convinced that its just laziness they just put in a
number of cyl(s) and its a guess. I think that they just am afraid
that you are going to hold the number of recs to the exact number and
too bad if it goes over.
