  ****************************************************************
  When IDCAMS is used to define a VSAM dataset, the maximum number
  of records that can be specified the RECORDS keyword is
  16,777,215.  Since DRF always uses RECORDS to define a VSAM
  dataset, it is going to be a problem if customers have a VSAM
  dataset that has more than 16,777,215 records in it.
  

Problem conclusion

• AIDS: RIDS/UTIL RIDS/DBS DBS/UTIL
    DEP: RIDS/VSAM D/VSAM
    GEN:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  The fix is to make DRF more sensitive to the number of records
  in a VSAM dataset.  If the number of records is less than or
  equal to 16,777,215, RECORDS keyword will be used to define the
  dataset.  However, if the number of records is greater than
  16,777,215, DRF will convert from records to kilobytes and use
  KILOBYTES keyword to define the dataset.  By adding this kind of
  logic, the size of the dataset to be defined can be
  significantly increased.
  

Temporary fix

• NO
