Lucy, If you use the same DD statement with IEFBR14, what blocksize is calculated?
John P. Baker Chief Software Architect HFD Technologies -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lucy Arnold Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 12:31 PM To: [email protected] 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! Lucy Arnold Storage Manager U.C.
