I like it FB LRECL 80 so I can see it on terminal screen without having to shift right and left. We only support 80 wide displays. If I could get a display that would handle 255 with and still be readable I would go for the VB Lrecl 255.
Herman <Snip> I'm probably going to start a firestorm here, but it's for an internal argument here where I'm consulting. Should REXX/CLIST datasets be RECFM=FB,LRECL=80, or should they be RECFM=VB,LRECL=255?
