As long as they are not mixed, either one is fine. Like Lionel, I prefer 255. But when consulting, I go with what is already set up.
Probably 95% of what I have written is less than 80 per line though.

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 lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
