avin,
When you say the length of a million records, what exactly are you looking for? You want the answer back in what units?

avin,
It would be interesting to know what answer the interviewer was looking for.
I don't know of anything in File-Aid that, without actually allocating the file you will know how much space it will take up.

Hi Avin,
Here is the answer for ur question.
If a Copybook contains million records and if we don't have the length of the copybook, It is very difficult to calculate manually or using an Excel sheet.
File-aid will solve this problem.
In file-Aid, there is an option "8. View". Here u need to give the specify the path where ur copybook resides.
Then it will displays the length of the Copybook.
