Length schmength, it depends what's in it. I use any PDS as a clist repository and allocate it whenever I need it.
Most of the time I like whatever fits on my screen but I keep a 300 lrecl around in case I have a slew of really wide RACF commands, like a full width alter of installation data. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Rick Fochtman Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 3:44 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: CLIST/REXX Library Formats I'm involved in a discussion (read "argument") with co-workers where I'm currently doing a consulting gig. Which is more effieient for CLIST/REXX libraries? the choices are "RECFM=FB, LRECL=255" or "RECFM=FB,LRECL=80"? I lean toward the VB-format, btt I have at least one person here insisting that FB/80 is a "Industry standard" and is absolutely mandatory. The libraries are NOT LLA/VLF managed. Opinions and/or criticisms, please.
