That is also WAD. On a recfm V file, the lrecl is documentation only. What shows in a listfile is the longest record. You can still append more records of ANY length > 0, and a new listfile will show the length of the now longest record. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
