remove restriction of blksize=4000 in Merge TAPEPULL processing

  • 1.  remove restriction of blksize=4000 in Merge TAPEPULL processing

    Posted Dec 11, 2023 04:46 AM

    We would like be able to use SDB (sytem determined blocksize) in MERGE Tapepull processing.

    As of today the MERGE TAPEPULL-Dataset must have a blksize=4000. This is documented:

    This means that we have to specify blksize=4000 in our jcl wenn we create the tapepull-dataset.
    We would like to have the restriction removed, because SDB should be able to be used in a modern datacenter nowadays

    If you use less than 50 records, the merge job will not notice that a BLKSIZE>4000 is being used.

    kind regards 
    Martin
