"Should?" They 'should' be whatever best fits your environment. Having worked with both, I prefer the VB/255 format, which works well with my 43X132 display. Generally, I don't extend data beyond 124 columns, as that's what edit normally displays. That's 72% longer displayed data than the 80-column displays allow, allowing for nicely formatted code most of the time.

Should REXX/CLIST datasets be RECFM=FB,LRECL=80, or should they be RECFM=VB,LRECL=255? Why? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
