Hi Willie,

Maybe the RELEASE YES is because the file has not been loaded with idcams  
REPRO.  Also, a few other items you might consider:

1. Change the DATA CISIZE to 26624 as this will save about 11% of disk and 
change the INDEX CISIZE to 4096.  I have successfully used these on many files.
2. Change the FSPC(5,5) to FSPC(0,5) or some effective value.  The first 5 is 
for ci free space and is 5% of the current cisize of 8192 = 409 which is less 
than the record size, so no records will fit in the free space.
3. Change the DATACLASS to SPEED vs. RECOVERY as this causes the REPRO to run 
faster due to no formatting/checkpoints.

Subject: Re: QUESTION ABOUT VSAM / VSAM EXTENDED - IAMPRINT OUTPUT
  

Hi Willie,

We (INNOVATION) do not have any record of you writing/calling us on 
this.  Normally, we would want to see the entire report to be able to 
answer this type of question.

When an IAM file is created with the VSAM EXTENDED format the IAM Global 
Options value for RELEASE= is used for the RELEASE setting on the file.  
The default Global Option for RELEASE= is YES.
Once an IAM file is loaded, space in this file is released and the 
RELEASE setting on the file is set to NO.

If you have questions, please contact IAM support at INNOVATION.
