Kilobyte Conversion

CA FAVER provides device independence and supports SMS by converting all SMS-managed cluster allocations (primary and secondary) to kilobytes (KB). This feature is automatically included; no control statements are required.

Conversion for cylinders: If the cluster is allocated in cylinders (cyl), the conversion formula is as follows:

KB=(cyl * tracks per cyl * usable bytes per track) / 1024

Conversion for tracks: If the cluster is allocated in tracks, the conversion formula is as follows:

KB=(tracks * usable bytes per track) / 1024
