Specifying the object’s size

z/OS MVS Programming: Callable Services for High-Level Languages
SA23-1377-02

If the object is permanent and new or is temporary, you must tell window services the size of the object. You specify object size through the object_size parameter. The size specified becomes the maximum size that window services will allow for that object. You express the size as a number of 4096-byte blocks. If the number of bytes in the object is not an exact multiple of 4096, round object_size to the next whole number. For example:
  • If the object size is to be less than 4097 bytes, specify 1.
  • If the object size is 5000 bytes, specify 2.
  • If the object size is 410,000 bytes, specify 101.
