Yes, I have used it. If they have RACF checking each dataset on, then

They are running the LAST IMS MAINFRAME in North America in 2003?
Why does IBM keep churning out new versions of IMS?

A PDS load module block is a multiple of 1K. PDSEs are built on
linear datasets (VSAM) so it might be a 4K multiple.

Correction. 16 IBM 350 disk drives, each weighing a ton. Is that

666K cards at 80 bytes per is 53,333,280.
A IBM 350 for a RAMAC 305 weighs over a ton and hold 5 million 6 bit
characters 3.5MB.
So you would need 15 of those.
Or a PC hard disk drive from 1994 of 60MB.
Or about 30 3.5 floppy disks.
Or a small flash drive of 64M to 2G.
Or a micro SD card of 2G.
How about compiling at all ARCHLEVELs, then letting the installation
pick which level to install. Have the install program issue a warning
if the current machine does not meet the ARCHLEVEL selected.
