Re: Size of a page?

A page is currently a 4096-byte block.

For further information see the V5R3 Information Center under
Programming/APIs/APIs by category/Machine Interface Instructions/iSeries
Machine Interface Instructions/Machine Interface Introduction/Storage
Terminology.  Here you will find storage definitions and references to the
Materialize Resource Machine Data (MATRMD) instruction which can be found
under iSeries Machine Interface Instructions/Machine Interface
Instructions.

The following sample CL program returns 4096 for both Number of bytes in a
page and Machine minimum transfer size:

             PGM
             DCL        VAR(&RECEIVER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256)
             DCL        VAR(&CONTROL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8) +
                          VALUE(X'0000000000000000')
             DCL        VAR(&XFERSIZE) TYPE(*INT) LEN(2)
             DCL        VAR(&PAGESIZE) TYPE(*INT) LEN(4)
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&RECEIVER 1 4)) VALUE(X'00000100')
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&CONTROL 1 1)) VALUE(X'09')
             CALLPRC    PRC('_MATRMD') PARM((&RECEIVER) (&CONTROL))
             CHGVAR     VAR(&XFERSIZE) VALUE(%BIN(&RECEIVER 17 2))
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&CONTROL 1 1)) VALUE(X'12')
             CALLPRC    PRC('_MATRMD') PARM((&RECEIVER) (&CONTROL))
             CHGVAR     VAR(&PAGESIZE) VALUE(%BIN(&RECEIVER 65 4))
             ENDPGM

Hi all!

Is a page always 4096-byte block?
