I have to calculate the size of dsn present on the tape ..
I am using this formula
BLKCNT * BLKSIZE = (bytes)
But wot if BLKSIZE is = 0

usually You can get the answer by querying the tape management system
the best people to ask would be Your storage support group |

| The BLKSIZE=0 should only be carried over to the DCB attributes if the file has not been written to. Therefor BLKSIZE=0 is valid because there isn't any data. |

DEN = 38KC TRTCH = 18TK PRERRI = 00000
LRECL = 000000 BLKSIZE= 000000 PWERRI = 00000
AUTIME = 0925 BESKEY = 00000 BLKCNT = 0000012272
AUFLAG1= 00 CPUID = EXPR USERID = ICOMT
Above is info from CA1...Now U can see BLKSIZ = 0
data is present cos it spans 4 tapes ...SO the tape contain data |
