The following is from the AMS manual concerning CISIZE for Linear datasets: " For a linear data set, the size specified is rounded up to 4096 if specified as 4096 or less. It is rounded to the next higher multiple of 4096 if specified as greater than 4096." So a Linear dataset will have a Cisize that is a multiple of 4096, not an absolute value of 4096.

All LINEAR cluster space allocation calculations can be made knowing just that. -- WB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
