Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)Parameter to enforce MAX-CA
allocation
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
VSAM has the wonderful
ability to allocate space based on records.
This alleviates device dependencies and the complexity of calculating
TRK or CYL allocations. The records
allocation concept is easily understood.
The problem is that allocations this way sometimes result in CAs that
are obtuse and can leave usused space on physical disk.

Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others?
Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)
Retain ease of allocation using records but
better tune the result to prevent wasted resources.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Include an IDCAMS parameter that will force
allocations to be rounded up to insure MAX-CA allocation for the physical
device. This should apply to Data and
Index components.
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
