Have you noticed the button marked "SEARCH" at the top of every page.
There are 94 hits for SB37. |

try Changing SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE) to SPACE=(CYL,(3000,3000),RLSE)
3000 + 3000 is what i know maximum you can give. SB37 is space abend. So increasing cylinders might solve it.
Do not forget to code RLSE here, otherwise you will be wasting lots of space here. |

I don't agree with this.
I have created the files with more space e.g. SPACE=(CYL,(4000,9000)) number of times.
The thing here is that while allocating the PRIMARY space ( In any space unit viz. cyl,trks,kilobytes etc) should not go beyond 65535 TRKS. otherwise you will face the issue "PRIMARY SPACE EXCEEDS 65535 TRKS" |

I don't either. . .
This is why asked where it was learned . . .
Possibly, TS will clarify.

Hi,
maybe this is perticular to mainframe I was using. hence quoted 'what I know'. may not be true for all cases. better option will be to keep on increasing cycles until you get your file (or system does not allow you - jcl error is thrown when a limit is reached) or be smart and put some filter crieterion in sort sysin so only records you are interested in are copied to output file. |

What on earth are you gabbling on about.
What are cycles - apart from things with two wheels that sort of get you from A to B
Please explain to the forum why it would be smart to select only certain records. Has the OP said that the records can be reduced by selection criteria. Certainly NOT that is written in the original post, so from where did that great idea pop up from 
ashishrw, unless you can contribute something constructive without making suggestions with reference to points not mentioned by the OP, please DO NOT post. All you do is create confusion and waste bandwidth. |

Probably not. . . It is possible that some local standard dictates this, but it has nothing to do with "the mainframe".

And talking with your storage management people would also be a good thing . . . There may already be a different dataclass/storage group for this type of file on your system. |
