BUFSIZE

Syntax

BUFSIZE=nnnnn

Description

This statement specifies the size of each spool buffer as a decimal number of bytes.

CA Spool does not support more than 8 spool blocks per track, so the BUFSIZE parameter specified must not be less than the track size divided by 8. Be aware that a change to this statement requires a FORMAT start.

The lower limit is 2,000 or track size /8 and the upper limit is 32,768. The default value is 6,518.
