We are experiencing issues with files being created with either the default of 10000 records or *NOMAX. I personally don't like either, (no wars on this please).

What are best practices for file sizes ? How do you address the reuse deleted records option ? How do you address file full ?

My thought is to build a file to contain the number of records and deleted records for each file at end of month. That will, over time give me an idea of how big things grow.

I also would like to program to check for files nearing their stated capacity and bumping them by either a set amount or a percentage of active records and reporting that to me for review.

While I love the idea of not re-inventing the wheel, we are not able to purchase software for this at this time. This will all be do it myself.

Thanks,
