I am trying to XDC a particular job in Spool and I give XDC command adjacent to the job name and it takes me to a new screen which asks me for a Dataset name and Disposition as NEW and the dataset gets created but when i try to browse / view the dataset created i get the message on the screen INVALID BLOCK SIZE.But when i created the dataset , there was no option to specify the BLKSIZE paramater.How can i avoid this problem so that i can browse the contents of the datasets ?

mfuser,

If I remember correctly the BLOCK SIZE parameter is all the way at the Bottom of the screen immediately after the RECORD LENGTH parm

Hope this helps...

Cheers
