How to calculate logical file size


AS/400, DB2, File, Logical files

Hi,
I need to be able to estimate the size of a logical file (inc access path). I've tried creating this file and almost filled the machine up. This is logical has quite a lot of key fields.
Does anyone know a simple way of estimating the size (IBM has a formula in the manuals, but I can't make out what to do with it).

Thanks in advance,

Martin Gilbert.
