Tim, The attributes of our TMC are:
LRECL: 340 BLKSIZE: 3400 RECFM: FB ALLOCATED CYLINDERS: 1,500 USED CYLINDERS: 465 Like Dave, I don't have any specific reasons why. I would be willing to bet that the small BLKSIZE is one reason why some of the CA-1 maintenance jobs run for awhile ( probally sequential reads ).
