That comes out to 65536000000 bytes, or 65536000 KB in message IGD17272I. Apparently the "K" in AVGREC(K) means multiply by 1024, while the "KB" in message IGD17272I means 1000-byte units. According to the "Using Data Sets" manual, AVGREC(K) uses a scale of 1024. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2D4A0/1.3.1.2 Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
