If you use IEBGENER in straight copy mode, it does check and enforce that the LRECLs match. That is what happens if you use SYSIN DD DUMMY If you want to change the LRECL use the SYSIN statement to put in IEBGENER control statements to do what you want.

DeFabritus Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 2:47 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IEBGENER is BROKEN Steve, are you really concerned about a 24-year-old APAR? <SNIP> I'm concerned that someone doesn't understand variable records. I'm concerned that someone would break GENER because some customer doesn't understand variable records and must be large enough that IBM would actually listen. I just about choked when I read that APAR that I was pointed to by a support person as to why this behavior. Be very scared, because these are the people that now do I/O for "MVS".
