2nd look: there are 4 archive files of similar size; the database which knows about all the module documentation tells you in which of the 4 files a certain module
documentation resides. You specify the module name, and the database routes
you (under the cover) to the proper file. You don't look at the files yourself; there is
a GUI which does this for you (even browser enabled from workstation based
development platforms).

Kind regards

I just had a look at the archive file that was corrupted in 2001,
it still exists until today, and we never had a problem with this file since -
I hope that it is saved regularly.

It has the following attributes:

RECFM VB, LRECL 259, BLKSIZE 27998
1800 CYLS, 5000 directory blocks, 20001 members.

So it is (and always was) VB.

Sorry for the possible confusion. This was no JCL dataset,
but instead - as I told you already - an archive containing module documentation.

Kind regards

Very interesting that you need to read the broken/original PO as a VB and very large blocksize to copy it while placing text messages into the output too...

That feels very wrong if the original PO was RECFM=FB. I'd expect multiple
errors on invalid BDW/RDWs.  I'd use RECFM=U.

Is there any documentation / links which describe that you can use DSORG=PO with RECFM=VB?

Generally, I believe there's no documentation that says you can't, so I
believe you can.  I do it regularly.  (VM/CMS may have its own rules
concerning CMS MACLIBs)

(Is there any documentation that says you can use LRECL=12345 with DSORG=PS?)
