https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_1.13.0/com.ibm.zos.r13.idad400/d4356.htm The z/OS 2.2 manual has the same diagram, but KC search didn't find it. The diagram is a bit confusing because where it shows the unblocked records, Record B is not shown with the BDW, but Record A and Record C are. <quote> Figure 44 shows blocked and unblocked variable-length (format-V) records without spanning. A block in a data set containing unblocked records is in the same format as a block in a data set containing blocked records. The only difference is that with blocked records each block can contain multiple records. </quote> -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
