Binder ignores any of RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, or FILEDATA specified when SYSLIN is allocated to a UNIX file and behaves as if they were FB, 80, ???, and BINARY. I submitted an RCF on this which was accepted rather grudgingly; Tech Pubs appeared to believe it was superfluous (they may have previously documented RECFM and LRECL but omitted FILEDATA for SYSLIN while documenting it for SYSPRINT). I suspect Binder bypasses QSAM/BSAM anduses BPX1* assembler calls directly.
