Caveat: I get the daily digest so you folx've probably already hashed this to
death...
Not sure about signed/unsigned but CA-1(R) r12.6 will not store a value
>032760. FDR/ABR dumps backup records in approx. track length ie. 57k-ish for
our 3390-3s, but they are recorded with the 032760 value in CA-1. I discovered
this while trying to generate an Earl report showing the amount of data stored
on our tapes. ("How many 3592 tapes would we have to buy?") Had to manually
fudge the results for FDR/ABR tapes otherwise I was under-reporting them by
1-(32/57) percent.

Subject: Re: blksize for ML2 migrated dataset via HSM
If memory serves, the CA1 TMC uses 16 bits to store the blksize. Even when
treated as unsigned, it won't show more than 65535.
