BTW, JCL and job step allocation, contrary to the JCL RM, by experiment tolerate RECFM=VBS,LRECL=32761. Dynalloc, however, reports it as an invalid value for LRECL. Conway's law, again? I did not test an OPEN. -- gil
OPEN will accept this. If you hard code the LRECL in a DCB macro you can code up to 32767 (in fact SMFDUMP does this). I seem to remember that long ago you could also code this in JCL, but if this is so, I don't know why it was changed. -- Richard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
