OK, I have to say it. Especially given the central role that LOGREC plays in
mainframe software and hardware diagnosis, EREP is the least user-friendly
utility that IBM supplies. And has been so for decades. The answer is almost
always there. Good luck in finding it yourself.

True. The intent was to think about

2) Are all Vendor related fixes for JES2 installed for the migration.

As part of my experimentation, the one record I wrote was for sure as small as
80 bytes. That would seem to have been quite "favourable", and no, the
remainder of the track was untouched by the data which was MODded to it.
