Another poster (sorry I deleted the post so can't credit him) already stated that the addressable range depends on the method you use to access the data set. Yes relative track addressing is 2 bytes and limited to 64K tracks. But relative block addressing is 3 bytes and so limited to 16M blocks.

It is a little bit more complex. There is third flavour or DSORG=PO, it is DSNTYPE=HFS. ;-) HFS is also constrained to single volume when non-SMS-managed.  In the past it was simply single volume. Last, but not least: a database structure (table, tablespace, index) may or may not be constrained

Mick, You are still missing the point: 64k TRK limit is PER VOLUME. It regards PDS, (basic) PS, and DA. In other words, BDAM datasets are 64k TRK constrained as some other datasets are. Of course some (PDS) datasets cannot be multivolume, while DA (and PS) can be, but that's different story.

Hi Radoslaw, If you combine all the rules for direct data sets across 2 or 3 pages of the manual you get: 65,535 tracks per volume, 59 volumes, 16 extents per volume, 255 extents across all volumes. Which suggests to me a limit of 3,866,565 tracks. Cheers, Mick. On Fri, 2 Nov 2018 at 11:40,
