IIRC it's in the first byte after the 2 byte length field in the RDW. See
below -

00   -   complete logical record
01   -   first segment of multi segment record
10   -   last segment of multi segment record
11   -   segment other than the first or last.

Folks,

quick question (since I'm chasing/trying to recover severe
production problems in parallel): how do I find the spanned
indicator in a VB record?

Background: had a program abend which processes IMS log records.
CA support very aptly pointed to a statement in the code where
there was a check for spanned records. Suggestion was to bypass
the check (quote: IMS log records should never be spanned anyway).
Suggestion worked - so thanks CA support! Possible suspect now is
a customer exit which probably inserts records having the spanned
indicator on. I'd like to verify this and as I'm basically
assembler illiterate I'd really appreciate it if anybody could
give me a clue where to look for this 'spanned indicator'. Some
nice DFSORT/ICETOOL solution maybe?

Thanks a ton
