John,

It will depend on blksize. If the dataset has a blksize of 80, you'll
get 78 blks/trk for a total of 78*80 bytes per track. 

If the blksize is 27920 you'll get 2 blks per track for a total of
27920*2 bytes per trk.

And a whole range in between. I have GX26-4577-04 IBM 3390 Direct Access
Storage Reference Summary that has a table of all the combinations. 

Probably not trivial in icetool.

Subject: DCOLLECT output - convert KB to tracks?

DCOLLECT outputs dataset sizes in KB (or KiB?). Anyway, management wants
the output in TRACKS. But I've noticed that the conversion is not as
simple as "divide by ???" where ??? is an integer. What is the real
conversion factor for a 3390? Will it be simple to do in ICETOOL, which
is what I am using for the report. It is all that I have left since they
killed SAS.
