Hi all,

I have an existing program which opens an elementary one-CSECT load module 
member in a PDS and GETs records until it comes to the CSECT's record, 
discernible by an eyecatcher at offset 0.

Until now, the program used the PUTX macro to update data in place in the 
existing record buffer. Now the program needs be modified to expand the length 
of old records to house additional data. Just in case anyone asks, the expanded 
record length is significantly less than the load library's BLKSIZE.

Is it possible to change the buffer address and LRECL before issuing the PUTX?

For LRECL, is this simply done by plugging the new length into DCBLRECL? If so, 
for a RECFM=U load library, is the LRECL the actual record length or does an 
RDW length or similar need to be added in?

TIA,
Jerry
