I would have thought allocations in records or thousands of records,
or millions of records, e.g.:
SPACE=(440,(100,5),RLSE),AVGREG=M
allocate space for 100 million records of 440 bytes long.
Like the folks in John McKown's shop, I have trouble dealing with space in terms
of average record size and number of records. It seems overburdensome to have to
worry about space at that level or detail. OTOH, I have no trouble at all
knowing how many megabytes I'll need! :-)
