How to determine number of bytes written to member from assembler program? If PDS is defined as "DSORG=PO and RECFM=U".

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Ankit

Hello,

Increment a byte-count in the code if someone really believes this is necessary. . .

Why does someone believe this is necessary?

I am writing various members in to the PDS and when that PDS size gets greater then the some threshold value say 80% of total available space, then list out all the members with individual percentage occupied in PDS.

Hope I am clear in explanation.

Hello,

This is just wasted effort. . .

A better way to do this is to schedule a regular compress of the pds or consider using a pdse that does not require compression. . .
