IMBED and Kilobyte Conversion

For clusters allocated using the IMBED feature, VSAM adds one track of kilobytes for each cylinder allocated. The IMBED feature requires one track from each control area. To avoid uncontrolled growth when using CA FAVER, RESTORE removes the kilobytes that VSAM adds to the allocation when using IMBED and KILOBYTES. The net result is that the same number of kilobytes is allocated each time the cluster is restored.
