Re: Understanding PDS in MVS 3.8


 

LaddievHsnus,
?
Please, do not mislead others. This question WAS NOT ANSWERED.
We are talking about free space at the end of PDS allocated space
80 x 31 = 2480 bytes. It is continuous space and it is empty. Interblock gap cannot be this big.
Please re-read the question, and re-read my previous answer, where i have added a picture.
?
Also 256 bytes is a directory block, not a data block.
Here is the quote from message you pointed to:
"Concerning PDS Files the directory was designed with 256 data byte and a key of 8 bytes containing the key of the last entry in the block. "
?
Best wishes,
Andre
