-----------------------------------<snip>-------------------------------
Have you tried using FBS vs. FB ? This is for fixed block standard and
recognizes the last block can be shorter and not a full block.
FB likewise permits the last block to be shorter.
-------------------------------------<unsnip>-------------------------------
Keep in mind one significant drawback: if the RECFM is FBS, an imbedded
short block, for example in a MOD'ed file, will signal EOF to QSAM.
