Hi Louielee,
It is basically the number of buffers to be allocated to a file being opened.
Here is the * MVS/QuickRef 6.5 * explanation for the same:
Quote:
Supplies the number of buffers to be assigned
for this file when it is opened. The maximum is
255 or the value dictated by the region size.
Valid for all access methods except TCAM & GAM.
I think the default value changes with the access methods, for QSAM it's 5.
