Use SAS to find the actual physical block size of the two files: <SNIP> And for those of us that do not have SAS, you can use IDCAMS: //IDCAMS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=??????, // DCB=(RECFM=U,LRECL=32760) //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * PRINT DUMP IFILE(SYSUT1) COUNT(?) /* // Where you replace the "??????" with the actual DSN and the "?" with the number of blocks you are willing to look at.
