HELPLIB.HLB  —  LD  CREATE  /CYLINDERS
  /CYLINDERS=number_of_cylinders

 	When this qualifier is specified the device will be created with the
 	specified number of cylinders. If not specified, and no /TRACKS
 	and /SECTORS switches are specified, then the device geometry will
 	be calculated by the driver. If it is specified then any other geometry
 	switch will default to 1 when not specified.

 	The maximum number of cylinders is 65535.

 	If SECTORS * TRACKS * CYLINDERS is less than the capacity of the
 	containerfile an error message will be issued.

 	This setting will be stored in the containerfile as metadata (in the
 	fileheader), and if present will be used when the container file is
 	connected (unless /NOAUTOGEOMETRY is specified).
