My preference is LRECL of 255 however IBM and most (all) vendors ship their rexx libraries as LRECL 80 so the SYSEXEC concatenation becomes the main issue.
I still develop with VB/255 but I keep the content within the 80 character limit so that I can easily copy what I do into a FB/80 for sharing. hth Lionel B.

Our passion is service. We're here to make lives better." I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle NOTICE TO RECIPIENT: If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, you are prohibited from sharing, copying, or otherwise using or disclosing its contents.
