DEVICE CONSTANTS This field contains constants describing the device on which the volume was mounted when the vroc was created. The following describes each of the subfields:
14 bytes
Device Size:
T:Track length:

Record Overhead:
three
Flag:
(4 bytes)-The number of cylinders(CC) and tracks per cyl-inder(HH).
(2 bytes)-The number of available bytes on a track exclusive of home address and record zero. (record zero is assumed to be a nonkeyed record with an eight bytes data field) (3 bytes)-The number of bytes required for gaps, check bits, and count field for each record. This value varies according to the record characteristics and thus is broken down into three subfields.
I: Overhead requ.ired for a keyed record other than the last record on the track.
l: Overhead required for a keyed record that is the last record on the track.
K: Overhead bytes to be subtracted from I or l if the record does not have a key field.
(1 byte)-Further defines unique characteristics of the device.

6/7 : CC ·and HH must be used as I-byte values,as in the case of the 2321.A tolerance factor must be applied to all but the last recerd on the track.
(2 byte.s)-A value that is to be wed to determine the ef-fective length of the record on the track. The efef-fective length of a record is calculated in the following manner:
1 Add the key length to the data length of the record 2 Test bit 7 in the flag byte:
a. If 0, go to step 3
b. Multiply value from step 1 by the tolerance factor c. Shift result 9 bits to the right
3. Add overhead bytes to the result.
Note: Step 2 is not required if the calculation is for the last record on the track.
(1 byte)-A count of the number of labels that can be written on each track in the vrOC. (Number of full records of 44-bytes key md 96-bytes data lengths that can be contain-ed on one
track
of this device)(l byte)-A count of the number of directory blocks that can be written on each track for an OS/VS partitioned data set.
(Number of full records of 8-bytes key and 256-bytes data lengths that can be contained on one track of this device)
