I continue to struggle with accurate calculation of MINIMUM.MODULUS
values for dynamic files.  Static hashed files do not seem to be such a
challenge for me.  

Here is an example where, once again, I was woefully shy...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
File name ..................   CLM.RUN.STRIP.PROVDATA
Pathname ...................   CLM.RUN.STRIP.PROVDATA
File type ..................   DYNAMIC
Hashing Algorithm ..........   GENERAL
No. of groups (modulus) ....   19618 current ( minimum 7867, 0 empty,
                                            8869 overflowed, 4612 badly
)
Number of records ..........   719305
Large record size ..........   75 bytes
Number of large records ....   6614
Group size .................   2048 bytes
Load factors ...............   80% (split), 50% (merge) and 80% (actual)
Total size .................   69978112 bytes
Total size of record data ..   46331730 bytes
Total size of record IDs ...   5114218 bytes
Unused space ...............   18528068 bytes
Total space for records ....   69974016 bytes

File name ..................   CLM.RUN.STRIP.PROVDATA
                               Number per group ( total of 19618 groups
)
                               Average    Minimum    Maximum     StdDev
Group buffers ..............      1.74          1         15       1.19
Records ....................     36.67         10         68      12.15
Large records ..............      0.34          1          4       0.58
Data bytes .................   2361.69        350      30359    2270.12
Record ID bytes ............    260.69         70        491      86.71
Unused bytes ...............    944.44         24       2068     650.69
Total bytes ................   3566.83       2048      30720       0.00


                               Number per record ( total of 719305
records )
                               Average    Minimum    Maximum     StdDev
Data bytes .................     64.41         34      28700     353.25
Record ID bytes ............      7.11          2         20       1.14
Total bytes ................     71.52         36      28720     354.13
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot seem to figure out the relationship of the current modulus to
the record sizes/counts/group size factors.  When I do the math I always
come up short.

Can someone offer some suggestions for accurate calculation of
MINIMUM.MODULUS?

Thanks.
