If I defined space as TRK(10,10) for the one file and lrecl
= 4K then tell me how many record will vsam file will
contain. will it 1,2,3,4,5 or how many,

Answer Posted / 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 : 123*56/4 = 1722

Ans : 1722 records can be placed in the given VSAM dataset.
