The default secondary space is allocated in units that are specified by the FILEUNIT= system option. Use the FILESPPRI= option to specify primary space allocation, and use the FILEDIRBLK= option to specify the number of directory blocks to allocate.

The value of this option is used if you omit the SPACE= option in the FILENAME statement or function or LIBNAME statement or function when creating a new physical file.

The range of acceptable values is 0-32760.
