A question came up in the COBOL newsgroup about records
(not blocks, i.e.
LBI) > 32K. I know that QSAM doesn't support this. The
current Enterprise
COBOL LRM at:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3LR31/APPENDIX
1.2
"RECORD CONTAINS integer - 1,048,575( (Note 5))
...
5. Compiler limit shown, but QSAM limits it to
32,767 bytes."
I believe the QSAM limit is 32,760. I never heard a
good explanation of why we can't use those other 7 bytes.
