The modulo isn't that useful in J4 files, but some experimentation may 
get you a something sometimes.

The separation is a multiple of the base frame size, which is 4096 
bytes. As this file has a frame size of 4096 bytes, it has a separation 
of one. The secondary record size is the size beyond which a record will 
be placed into secondary space in the file and the group will use a 
pointer to point to the record in contiguous disk space. So here, if the 
record is less than two 'frames' in length it will be stored within the 
group, and after that it will be a pointer in the group to secondary 
space allocated at the end of the file.

As the bytes per record is only 676 on average then there is no need for 
a separation anyway. jrf also allocates about 10% growing room, so it 
isn't dividing by 3735
