ALLOC_DIR

Default	0
Allowable Values	0 - 32000
Minimum	Not Applicable
Maximum	Not Applicable

This parameter defines the number of directory blocks that should be allocated when a file is created. If no file is created, this parameter is ignored. Normally, TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS automatically determines the number of directory blocks that a file has allocated and passes that information to its partner.

You can use this parameter to perform the following operations:

• Override the number of directory blocks on a local file.
• Specify the number of directory blocks to allocate when the partner is not TIBCO MFT Platform Server for z/OS.
