Good Day to you all:

I am about to set up a new account and have a couple of questions regarding file sizing.

1/ Is there a dict item I can use to see the size of my items in a file ? For example.... "LIST FILENAME size" which would show me the item ID and the size of the item.

LIST FILENAME *A9999     will work.
2/Once I have a look at the items sizes, I assume I can do the following to create a file with the approximate size.

For now, lets assume that there are 1000 bytes per item. Each bucket holds 4096 bytes, so approximately 5 items per bucket.

67000 items/5 indicates 13200 buckets

so.... CREATE-FILE FILENAME 3 13200  should do it.

Am I correct ? or is 13200 too much?

It sounds reasonable. Fill it with data and then use jrf FILENAME to resize it.
Dave.
