>For RECFM=V LRECL includes the 4 byte RDW and there is no BDW. I just checked Knowledge center.
I might missread your statement, but if you meant to say that a block in a RECFM=V data set does *not have a BDW, only the record has its RDW, then this is *not* true. Every RECFM=V.... block starts with a BDW decribing the length of that block. Inside the block, there are one or more records, each starting with a RDW, describing the length of that record (and some flags for the spanned format RECFM=V...S). - Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
