> Could you elaborate on why and when AVGRECLEN allocation is more efficient?
Barry, If AVGRLEN=n is not specified, DFSORT will use one-half of the maximum record length as the average record length. To determine the input file size for a sort application. DFSORT performs calculations based on the user supplied record count and other parameters (such as AVGRLEN) to estimate the total number of bytes to be sorted. This value is important for sort applications, since it is used for several internal optimizations as well as for dynamic work data set allocation.
