If I defined space as TRK(10,10) for the one file and lrecl = 4K then tell me how many record will..

Answer / srikanth kankatala

TRK(10,10) means 10 tracks of primary space and 10 tracks
of secondary space available for that VSAM data set.
For a VSAM file totally 123 extents are possible( 1 for
primary and 122 for secondary).

1 TRK = 56k

so the snswer is : [(10*1)+(10*122)]*56/4 = 17220

Ans : 17220 records can be placed in the given VSAM dataset.


Please let me know if it is wrong.

Answer / shriram10

TRK(10,10) means 10 tracks for primary and 10 tracks for
secondary space
for flat file 15 extents are available (1 for primary and 15
for secondary).
1 TRK = 56k
so, it will be like
[(10*1)+(10*15)]*56/4 = [10+150]*14 = [160]*14 = 2240

so Answer is we can place up to 2240 records in the flat file

correct me if i am wrong...
thanks
