roger Johns note... you could use

BUILD NEWFILE;DISC=524288;REC=-384,21,F,ASCII

and just drop the ",1,1"

Subject: [HP3000-L] Build question


 I have a question regarding the build command.  Last night I had a job
fail because the build for the file failed.  The command was failing,
complaining of no disc space. This was the command.

BUILD NEWFILE;DISC=524288,1,1;REC=-384,21,F,ASCII

What puzzled me was that discfree showed more than 40 million
sectors free.  Then when I removed the ,1,1 from the DISC parameter,
the build worked.  I am just curious as to why.  I know the ,1,1 has
to do with extents, but I never learned the reasoning for them, or what
they really mean.

Thanks for the help.
