I read in a PDF, ADARUN parameter LBP will give the length of the buffer pool. Could any one let me know how to use this parameter to find the length through a JCL and if possible please give an example JCL. I have never used any of the ADA parameters before.

Thanks for your time

The LBP parameter is used to set the buffer pool length, not to display it. To see the value you need to look at the JCL used to initiate Adabas (not JCL used to run a batch Natural job). The ADARUN parameters will be buried in a PDS member, usually restricted to DBA eyes only.

As a DBA, you should have access to the JCL and PDS member. As a developer, you shouldn't care about the size of the Adabas buffer pool.
