CSDBUFNI

The CSDBUFNI parameter specifies the number of buffers to be used for the CSD index.

CSDBUFNI=number
The minimum you should specify is the number of strings coded on the CSDSTRNO parameter, up to a maximum of 32768. This parameter is used only if you have also coded CSDLSRNO=NONE; if you have coded CSDLSRNO=number, CSDBUFNI is is set to a value of 0 and ignored.

If you specify a value for CSDBUFNI that is less than the required minimum (the CSDSTRNO value), VSAM automatically changes the number of buffers to the number of strings when CICS issues the OPEN macro for the CSD.

This parameter is effective only on a CICS cold or initial start. On a warm or emergency restart, file resource definitions for the CSD are recovered from the global catalog.
