Physical Block Size (Page Size) z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets SC23-6855-00 |
|
PDSEs use a physical block size of 4 KB, the same size as an MVS page. These 4 KB physical blocks are also often referred to as pages. The DCB block size does not affect the physical block size and all members of a PDSE are assumed to be reblockable. If you code your DCB with BLKSIZE=6160, the data set is physically reblocked into 4 KB pages, but your program still sees 6160-byte logical blocks. |
