IBM Has identified the following open APAR for my issue with a VSAM Define not working in z/OS V1.9
Lizette APAR Identifier ...... OA25988 Last Changed ........ 08/08/05 IDCAMS DEFINE OF A LINEAR WITH A CISIZE OF LARGER THAN 4K AND SPACE SPECIFED IN RECORDS DOES NOT ALLOCATE THE CORRECT SPACE Symptom ......

Status Detail: ANALYSIS - APAR is being investigated or debugged. PE PTF List: PTF List: Parent APAR: Child APAR list: ERROR DESCRIPTION: An IDCAMS define of a linear data set with a cisize greater than 4096 and space specified in records will not allocate the correct amount of space. The space should be calculated using the cisize times the number of records, but it is currently using a value of 4096 times the number of records. For example a 32K cisize will produce a data set with 1/8th the expected amount of space. LOCAL FIX: If possible, use tracks or cylinders when defining a linear data set with a cisize larger than than 4096. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
