I did mean 80 byte Lrecl. I have a blocksize of 800, which
is fine, because all of the Uads entries I looked at had 10

Not that disk is expensive, but BLKSIZE=800 is very
inefficient. If I can have only one userid per block, I won't
see this as a problem.
But, I haven't worked with UADS since the 1980's, so I don't
know.
I think you missed the forest for the trees. Even if the
blocksize were 23000 or larger, the blocks would still be 800
because each member is one block, and each block is ten records
of 80 bytes. A larger blocksize would be useful only if users
had more than one member (already ruled out in previous messages).
