Specifications

Reblocking entries are placed in a parmlib member of the user's choice. The parmlib member name is specified in the BLKSIZE= parameter of the COPY and MOVE commands. Each parmlib member entry has the following format.

'AAAAAABBBBBCCD'

Where:


AAAAAA	The six-character generic device name must be one of the following. This field is left-justified.
	2305-1	2305-2	2314	3330
	3330-1	3340	3350	3375
	3380	3380E	3380K	3390
	33902	33903	33909	9340
	F6421
BBBBB	The limit blocksize must be specified as a five- digit number with leading zeros as appropriate.
CC	Optional, but if present, must specify one of the following DSORGs: IS Indexed Sequential PO Partitioned PS Sequential
D	Optional, but if present, must specify one of the following RECFMs: F Fixed V Variable

When reblocking lists are used, the only required fields are device type and limit blocksize (DSORG and RECFM are optional). Several entries can be given for each device type in order to specify different limits for various DSORG and RECFM combinations. The first entry found that will apply to a selected data set is used. If no applicable entry is found, the data set is migrated without reblocking.

Note: Reblocking entries should always be enclosed in quotes when putting them into the parmlib member. This ensures that truncation does not occur as a consequence of embedded blanks in the device name field.
