KBYTES — Kilobytes allocated to the data set (number)

For all processing of non-VSAM data sets, and reporting on VSAM components with SCAN REALVOLS, REPORT COMPONENTS, the value of KBYTES is set to the total number of tracks occupied by each data set or component as shown by its format-1 and possible format-3 DSCBs, multiplied by the maximum block size for the device, and divided by 1000.

For all other processing of VSAM clusters, the value of KBYTES is set to the number of tracks represented by each of the extents listed in each cluster's catalog entry, multiplied by the maximum block size for the device, and divided by 1000.
