Gerhard, The Text records may be 256 bytes, but they are blocked, and the Blocksize of the "text" block will be up to the blksize of the loadlib.
Two verifications: 1) Browse any medium size load module in you load libraries and page right. Browse reads the modules as a recfm=u file, and you will see text block characters continue well past byte 256. 2) There was a fix for IEBCOPY years ago where "FAT RECORSS" were causing a problem. FAT records were caused where modules were created with text blocks larger than the Loadlib blksize. This couldn't happen if text records were not blocked. Ron > > I don't understand the issue.
