> [snip]..... I think that all >high level languages do the same. And even your low level language programs, such as High Level Assembler ;-) would not normally require RECFM and LRECL in JCL. The program is coded to handle records of specific format and length, so RECFM and LRECL are coded in the DCB. Exceptions are, of course, programs flexible enough to handle various formats and lengths.
