That doesn't follow either Linkage Editor nomenclature or Linkage
Editor behavior. The documentation uses "record" to refer to the same
thing as the access method calls a record, and the Linkage Editor
never writes consecutive text record; it always writes a CTL or
CTL/RLD record between text records.

What do you mean by an "instruction record"?

What gives you the idea that it does? It checks for end of csect and
for large gaps.
