knowledge of the language, the nigglers'll point out that RETAIN DATA

Ted,
Thanks for that, but I guess we all cannot be perfect...
First: L would not be a written variable.
It should be:
DATA LRECL00(KEEP=LEN);
INFILE IN LENGTH=L;
INPUT @ ;
LEN = L ;

You're right about the OUTPUT statement, but I haven't worried about it for

It was the first language I used in the field.

Hi,
I can write a quick and dirty program to do this but since it is for an
application group a supported utility would be preferred.
Does anyone have code to use SAS, SYNCSORT or some other utility to quickly
summarize the lengths of all the records in a file of variable length
records?

I love this program. So retro. Without the magic handshake on SYSIN,
SYSUT1 gets 013-18. If SYSUT1 is RECFM=F file you get:
HIS004A INVALID DCB OR ACB DATA
And what exactly is a record too short? What does key length mean on
a flat file?

Since you have SYNCSORT, will HISTOGRM work? I don't think I've run
it in 15 years, but I just tried and it looks like it is what you
want. Here was my test JCL:
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=HISTOGRM
a. You don't need nor want to output to a SAS dataset, if you just want to
count things in the infile. Each OUTPUT takes CPU time and disk space;
instead use DATA _NULL_, SUM statements to accumulate, and a PUT the
sum at the END= of the INFILE:
DATA _NULL_;
INFILE test LENGTH=LENDATA
