RE: Finding "embedded" short blocks



I have to ask, WHY?

Unless you really meant RECFM=FBS.

No access method I know of cares about short blocks in the middle of the
file. They just deal with it. If you really don't want any short
blocks, use IEBGENER or either of the sort products to copy it to a new
file. That would take no more time then reading the file to find the
short blocks.

Subject: Finding "embedded" short blocks

Hi, All,

Is there an "easy" way to find any "short blocks" that might exist in a
FB dataset? We don't have DITTO (IBM File Manager), and I haven't found
a way with File-Aid yet.

TIA,
