Add additional AVGREC sizes to Space definitions in JCL and IDCAMS

With the large size volumes and larger amounts of data going to datasets, it would be helpful if the AVGREC and DEFINE statements allow more options.

Currently AVGREC has B(ytes) and K(ilobyte) and M(egabytes). and DEF VSAM has K(ilobyte) and M(egabytes) and RECORDS. This makes the coder have to calculate the higher numbers for GB/TB/PB and so forth


This would allow the coding to use smaller numbers. This would allow me to see what the user had coded.

//DSN1 DD DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),DSN=MY.DSN,
// SPACE=(1,(1000,1000)),AVGREC=G

DEF CL (NAME(MY.DSN) -
GB(1000 1000) -
....
