Does anyone know how to calculate the total size of an iseries machineindex. There are a number of algorithms regarding index size but I'mcurious because my total index size seems to be off by a factor of 1-2 basedon data and key portion sizes. Allowing for a built in buffer which I thinkis 20480 and boundary alingments, key overhead, the resulting index sizeafter entry insertion is still pretty large. The 20480 is the built insize used by IBM with the legal QUSCRTUI api.
