1. First, execute a full CXX Report -- See sample JCL below:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=DBUTLTY,REGION=4M
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=YOUR.DATACOM.CAAXLOAD
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=YOUR.DATACOM.CUSLIB
//CXX DD DISP=SHR,DSN=YOUR.DATACOM.CXX
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPUNCH DD DUMMY
//DDSNAP DD SYSOUT=*
//SNAPER DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
COMM OPTION=STATS,DBID=601
REPORT AREA=CXX,DBID=601
//
2. Next, view the output and to the right of the INDEX Information - IXX, you will see the following:
DYNAMIC EXTEND - YES
DYN.EXT.TRACKS - 15
INDEX INFORMATION
DEVICE TYPE - 3390 DYNAMIC EXTEND - YES
BLOCK LENGTH - 4,096 DYN.EXT.TRACKS - 15
LEVELS - 1 OLDEP - YES
BLOCKS/TRACK - 12
If DYNAMIC EXTEND is specified as YES, this is the number of tracks that will be used in the DYNAMIC EXTEND. This does not include a utility extend. If DYNAMIC EXTEND is specified as YES and this is zero, the VTOC secondary allocation is used.
