Configuration Parameters › CONFIG Member Parameters › AVGREC

AVGREC

Specifies the multiplier for Primary and Secondary allocation units when allocating based on the number of records.

U

Indicates that the PRI and SEC parameters specify the number of records to allocate for.

K

Indicates that PRI and the SEC parameters specify the number of records in thousands (so it would be the number specified multiplied by 1024).

For example, specifying 3 would be stating 3K or 3072 records.

M

Indicates that PRI and the SEC parameters specify the number of records in millions (so it would be the number specified multiplied by 1048576).

For example, specifying 2 would be stating 2M or 2097152 records.

Default: U

Note: This parameter applies only when the alloc value in the SPACE parameter specifies a value of REC indicating that a file is being allocated based on a specific number of records.
