Space Calculations for Dynamic Report Processing

Each unique dynamic report identified by the REPT entry is archived directly to View. Each unique report allocates space in16 block increments. All the reports remain open and occupy those units of space until it is freed at the end of sysout data sets. For large amounts of dynamic reports to be processed, correct space must be allocated. The following formula can be used to estimate the space required in the database during the dynamic reports creation phase:

(16 * Number of Dynamic reports generated) / (blocks per track)

For example, if a job that generates 8000 dynamic reports is run and the standard block size of 3768 is used, then we would need 9847 tracks in the View database.

(16*8000) / 13 = 9847 (rounded)
