The only difference is the RECORDING MODE IS. For spanned it is S and for
variable it is V. The 01 level, which the original poster was asking about
is the same for both. I guess I should have given this one that I use to
read the DCOLLECT output:
FD DCOLIN
BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS
RECORD CONTAINS 3 TO 928 CHARACTERS
RECORDING MODE IS V.
01 DCOLIN-REC.
02 DCOLIN-REC-LEN PIC S9(2) COMP.
02 DCOLIN-VARYABLE.
03 DCOL-AREA PIC X(1)
OCCURS 1 TO 926
DEPENDING ON DCOLIN-REC-LEN.
