For breaking down the records into the format they should have, maybe this IBM 
Docs link can help:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.2.0?topic=format-introduction

That documentation describes the record formats for IEBCOPY unload datasets.

Subject: Re: Format PDS unloaded on an CD

The problem is that he  is  missing  the  EOR indicators. The file he has is an 
IEBCOPY  PDS UNLOAD to sequential file, but when the IND$FILE
transfer to the PC was done, it was done without  the   usual CRLF option
to maintain EOR.

He is going to  have to analyze the file and find a record break. Then we maybe 
write a rexx or something  to read the file and split the records out.
