Never mind; I think PK63887 is the answer.

DSN=data.set.name,DISP=(,CATLG),RECFM=FBA,LRECL=132,. . .

> Now DB2 has been switched to "new function" mode (still v8.1). The
DBA notes that the same DB2 batch

LRECL=132, but works fine if the LRECL

function" mode, this utility program

object decks. He is unaware of any

now -requires- LRECL=133?
