Block size limit specification - Key = '8022'

DALBSLM specifies the maximum length system-determined block size processing is to use when determining a block size appropriate for the media type to which the data is being written. When you code DALBSLM, # must be one, LEN must be 1 to 10, and PARM contains the block size limit in EBCDIC. The maximum PARM value is 2,147,483,648. The minimum value is 32,760.

Example: To specify the maximum block size limit of 2,147,483,648, code:

KEY   #     LEN   PARM
8022  0001  000A  F2 F1 F4 F7 F4 F8 F3 F6 F4 F8

or (2097152K)

KEY   #     LEN   PARM
8022  0001  0008  F2 F0 F9 F7 F1 F5 F2 D2

or (2048M)

KEY   #     LEN   PARM
8022  0001  0005  F2 F0 F4 F8 D4

or (2G)

KEY   #     LEN   PARM
8022  0001  0002  F2 C7

Example: To specify a block size limit of 20 megabytes, code:

KEY   #     LEN   PARM
8022  0001  0003  F2 F0 D4
