Actually, in this case, it s not wasteful at all. With LRECL=14160, you can get 3 records on a track. If you were to block it 2 records per block, the block size would be 28320 and only one block would fit on a track. Higher blocking factors would push it abofe 32760. IAC, with no BLKSIZE specified, SDB would normally select the most efficient block size. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
