AVGREC adds to the chaos.

If the initial allocation was performed in multiple extents, is
there any way to retrieve the initial request?

HSM MIGRATE/RECALL can coalesce extents, further obscuring
the initial request.

I have used ISPF to capture the attributes of a data set; changed
only the DSN, then allocated.  The new data set was smaller because
ISPF? Allocation? applied a correction for 3380/5590 capacity ratio.
(I understand this is optional, but our site had it turned on.)

I'd like to be able to code "BLKSIZE=0,SPACE=(1,10000000000),..."
and let allocation and SDB figure it out.

They're only trying to help me.
