	==Choosing a PDSIZE==		==Choosing a PDSIZE==
			<p>There are two possible paths you can take in choosing a PDSIZE:
			• Have one large block containing many pages. Because name searches
			always begin with the first block, this increases the likelihood of finding a
			name on the first page read. However, as the pages fill up, Model 204 might
			allocate a new block when space still exists on the old block.
			• Have a number of smaller blocks with fewer pages. Although it might take
			Model 204 longer to find the procedure name, there is less impact on Table
			D when a new block is allocated.
			When choosing PDSIZE, take into account the percentage of procedure and
			alias names known or anticipated when you design the file. The fewer aliases
			your site uses, the smaller the PDSIZE you can use.</p>
