I should be able to code SPACE=(1,54000000000) and let SDB infer an average block size and allocation spare me the algebra of factoring the total space into halfword chunks. This might require a new alternative TU: a 64-bit (for future growth) extent size in bytes.
(I'd prefer, for legibility, SPACE=(1,54.000.000.000) with European thousands separators.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
