Does z/OS / SMS have a set of default space allocation sizes and if so, where are they held and can I alter or control them? I have a situation where insufficient contiguous disk space results in the SPACE request parameters supplied for a DISP=(NEW...) file with values that are too low to fulfil the final requirements. Example: I request SPACE=(TRK,(9000,1000)… and what I get is ...TRK,(7200,500), which eventually leads to a B37 abend. It's that 'eventually' bit that is most disheartening. I would far rather have the space request completely refused along with a job abend rather than have the system 'try to help' me.
