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.
