Because MPE/iX is a page driven system, I have long maintained the best
blocking factor for IMAGE datasets to be 2048 words, or a fraction thereof,
like 256, 512 or 1024.


Kind regards,

Denys. . .

I am building a new IMAGE data base.  What is the number I need to get the
record to fit into.   Is it still a multiple of 256.

Thanks
