Note that RECFM=V is missing the "B" (i.e. block descriptor
word). RECFM=V is almost the equivalent of RECFM=U, exceptt that the
data block is prefixed by a half-word length (limited to 32767) and "BB".
BTW, a VBS record can be as long as 16,777,215 bytes,

Why not? If I create a VBS data set; write a single logical record
which happens
not to be segmented, then close it, the content is identical to that
of a RECM=V
data set. RECFM=VBS must be prepared to deal with that on input.
Why presume the program is assembler? An override in JCL DD should suffice.
