LRECL

Specifies the length for fixed length generic layout input or output files.
Note: Supported by the following mfims imsdbu functions:
  • Add
  • Load
  • Unload

Syntax:

>>-----LRECL--(length)------><

Parameters:

length
The length for fixed length generic layout input (Add and Load functions) or output (Unload function) records.

Properties:

Default: LRECL(0)

Comments:

An LRECL is required when loading from a fixed-length generic file; that is, when LAYOUT(G) is specified. It is not required and is ignored when LAYOUT(D), LAYOUT(I) or LAYOUT(S) is specified.

Unload function
LRECL(0) causes IMSDBU to assign the smallest possible value. The value used will appear in the detail report listing.
