Should REXX/CLIST datasets be RECFM=FB,LRECL=80, or should they be RECFM=VB,LRECL=255? Why? -- Rick -- Remember that if you're not the lead dog, the view never changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.
