That is probably the best laugh I have had in a long time! "A little math" HAHAHA! :-)
A 4K blocked mini disk will have 16193 blocks available for data. The total on the disk is 16200; some is used for the tables and control data for the disk structures. Since these are 4K LRECL files, 1 record is 1 block (I'm not going to mention sparse files now; monitor data is not sparse!). It looks like you have a total of 16185 records/blocks on the disk allocated. That computes to 16185/16193 = 0.9995059593651577842277527 (a little math... :-) So your disk is 99% full! _______________________________________ James Vincent Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Solutions Mainframe, z/VM and z/Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-25-02 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5547 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> wrote on 06/13/2006 08:35:38 AM: > [email protected] > > Thanks Jim that got me on.
