PS wow, I guess it's been a while since I've touched MVS...ah, z/OS --
lrecl 1, blocksize 0?!?
Well, that is my own weird idea of how to store "byte stream" data. The
RECFM=FB says that it is fixed blocked. LRECL=1 because it is a "byte
stream" (no real records in the z/OS sense). The BLKSIZE=0 is somewhat
new. It tells z/OS: "Look at the device and use the optimal BLKSIZE for
that specific device." Instead of "hard coding". z/OS usually picks 1/2
Cool!
