Details

The default primary space is allocated in units that are specified by the FILEUNIT= option. Use the FILESPSEC= option to specify secondary space allocation and the FILEDIRBLK= option to specify the number of directory blocks to be allocated.

The value of this option is used if you omit the SPACE= option from the FILENAME statement or function or from the LIBNAME statement or function when creating a new physical file.

The range of acceptable values for FILESPPRI= is 1-32760.
