I must express my displeasure at this 4000 block limit in the 270 series controllers, and that included in this total are the various data blocks (LONG, REAL, etc. Some years ago we made the decision, in a Batch IA system which originally predated the existence of IA Batch packages, to move a considerable quantity of data from the parameters of various blocks into these data blocks. As no good deed can go unpunished, we pay for that when moving to 270's. Even with gobs of memory left, and not even approaching overload, we slam hard against block count. It seems, though I have no actual quantitative data to prove it, that the CP60s are more capable for this application than the 270s. OK, venting over.
