Hi everyone:
On my new work I have to go back to many concepts that I used in the past and calculations and I do not remember many things.
Right now I am trying to create PO data set. And I would like to know if any body up there knows. How can I calculate the space?
If I am using cylinders, tracks, or blocks. Please let me know if there an equation to calculate the right space that I will used in a dasd :
Regards
Jose Jacome

HI Veena
Can you please upload the excell spreadsheet to the forum. Maybe other people can use it too. The TSO command looks like a clist and if it is, it will not be readily available in all IT shops. |

Please send me the spreadsheet to calculate the space. You know that the person that comes from the PC world we always managed ourself with MB or GB. So I just want to go from MB or GB to tracks or Cylinders.
Example I would like to have 10MB of space to a dataset. So how much is that in cylinders or tracks. The same thing if I want 10GB of space. So it is a conversion formula that I want.
Also you can add any attachment on this forum. So if you have anything please send me the information I need it to calculate the exact amount of space that I would use in my datasets.
I used at the command line dasdcalc and it did not work. I do not why. But if you have the formula as I describe above please send it to me.
Regards

I could not find the excel sheet. Can u please send it or attach it once again.
I would like to know if there are 10000 records each of Lrecl = 80 and Blocksize assumed as 800, then how much space is required to store those 10000 records. |

TS70363, do you really expect an answer after almost 5 years?
Google is your friend. Find a copy of GX26-4577, which is the 3390 DASD chart, and download it. You will find that 800-byte blocks allow 39 blocks per track or 390 records per track. You can do the math from that point.
And 800 bytes per block is not very efficient these days -- by using half-track blocking, you can put almost 700 records per track instead of 390. |
