Being honest I don't know what SMP/E element types are installed into SAXRREXX, but there are a bunch that do support content in something other than LRECL=80 form. For executables (load modules or program objects), ++PROGRAM. Any of the Data Element types, such as ++DATA, ++UTIN, ++EXEC, etc. all support non-FB-80 content. The trick when building the PTF is to use the GIMDTS service routine to transform the element content into an FB-80 image. SMP/E will then retransform the data back to its original form during the APPLY and ACCEPT.

Re: in SMP/E what is the entry type of CEXEC?
What's wrong with LRECL=80? A PTF can contain everything, including pictures or SETUP.EXE for Windows. BTW: It's been some time since PTFs are used to modify non-FB80 datasets and Unix files. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 18.10.2021 o 22:42, Itschak Mugzach pisze: Relfile is for the function.

in SMP/E what is the entry type of CEXEC?
I wonder how IBM is updating the SYS1.SAXRREXX dataset with CEXEC format. Afaik a PTF is limited to lrecl of 80.
