How to determine approx size of dataset in Megabytes
Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:05 pm
Hello. Is it possible to determine the approximate size of a dataset in megabytes based off the dataset information? I do not know if you can estimate this based off used cylinders alone, or if there is a formula that takes into account the record length along with the blocksize/used cylinders? Can anyone describe how to determine the file size based upon this data set information please?
