Hi,

Our dataset shows the below "Data Set Information".

Code: Select all

Data Set Name . . . . : XXXXX.XXXXX.XXXX.XXXX.BACKUP.G0001V00

  Creation date . . . : 2009/05/01      Referenced date . . : 2009/05/01  
  Expiration date . . : ***None***                                        

Would you please explain me how the "Current Allocation" & Current Utilization" are calculated here?

What is the significance of the below given parameters?

Code: Select all

Data class . . . . . : **None**
 Organization  . . . : PS      
 Record format . . . : VB      
 Record length . . . : 356     
 Block size  . . . . : 27998   
 1st extent bytes  . : 727948  
 Secondary bytes . . : 356096  

Are these parameters used to calculate "Current Allocation" & "Current Utilization"?

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Suggest you browse through the manuals and read about all these.

The DATACLAS keyword specifies an SMS data class assigned to an SMS data set. The data class that you specify can be a maximum of eight characters in length. Wildcard characters are permitted.

Organization . . . : PS -> Physical sequential File or QSAM
Record format . . . : VB -> variable Block File
Record length . . . : 356 -> Logical Record Length
Block size . . . . : 27998 -> Size of Block
1st extent bytes . : 727948 -> No. of bytes for First extent
Secondary bytes . . : 356096 -> No. of bytes for second extent
