For the BLKSIZE= constraint mod(32760,8) = 0, mod(32767,8) ¬= 0. For the extents-per-volume question it is hard to see any basis for an alignment issue, and in any case both 123 and 127 are odd. (Of the two 123 is composite and 127 = 2^7 - 1 is a Mersenne prime, but this difference too is unlikely to be relevant.)
Finally, my point was not a cavil. I have no animus against the number 123. I was and am seeking enlightenment. There is presumably a rationale for the number 123; but 1) what it is has eluded me; and 2) a search of the IBM-MAIN archives was unhelpful, perhaps because my query was inept.
