I get:

         6 //DD7  DD  UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(1,0),RECFM=VBS,LRECL=32767     

  STMT NO. MESSAGE                                                              
         6 IEF638I SPECIFIED NUMERIC EXCEEDS MAXIMUM ALLOWED IN THE LRECL 
SUBPARAMETER OF THE DCB FIELD

Why is this considered an error?

In fact, 32761 is accepted; 32762 causes the error.  On what rationale is this 
based?
The same limts appear to apply to RECFM=VB.
I haven't tried OPENing any such data set.

(I like to test boundary conditions.)
