The LRECL in the JCL includes the RDW. The "RECORD VARYING IN SIZE" does *not* include the RDW. Therefore, it is quite true that the LRECL (in JCL) should be 4-bytes larger than the minimum RECORD VARING FROM value. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
