1 Shows the keywords that were specified in the GFTAVMA JCL. This information shows what keywords generated the Data Set Report.

2 See the FORCECAP keyword in FORCECAP/NOFORCECAP Keywords for a discussion of what happens when the data set size exceeds the physical size of the tape cartridge. Also see Tape Cartridge Usage that explains the capacities of tape volumes.

3 The heading and actual track calculations for this sample report are based on the DASDDEV keyword, which defaulted to 3390-3.

4 The data set block size value affects how efficiently DASD track space is allocated. GFTAVMA calculates the DASD track size using the current data set block size.

5 "W/O ISSUING A LOCATE" means "without reading the catalog". See note 8.

Note: This block size might be efficient for tape. However, it is inefficient for DASD track usage.
