Lucy,

If you use the same DD statement with IEFBR14, what blocksize is calculated?

Subject: BLKSIZE=10

Hello,

I have a programmer who insists the following JCL has always calculated a
valid blksize:

//SYSUT2   DD  DSN=DAPJPQ.TEST.NEW,
//         DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,(22430,0)),
//         DCB=(C.SYUNIV.MODEL,RECFM=U,LRECL=6184),
//         UNIT=SYSDA

Now (since Friday he says)  this JCL is calculating a blksize of 10 and of
course the resulting dataset is not usable.  I have CA:Allocate here, and I
tried the JCL without Allocate and it still gets a blksize of 0 - so
Allocate is not involved.

Has anybody else had this issue? 

Thanks!
