LRECL has no meaning for RECFM=U as far as the system goes. It is recorded in the DSCB, but that is all. Anyway, only QSAM ever uses LRECL for any dataset. So there's no good reason for specifying LRECL on a load library. It can default to 0 just fine, because it's meaningless.
As far as directory reading goes, the DCB would need to specify DSORG, RECFM, BLKSIZE overrides, and KEYLEN with BSAM; again LRECL is irrelevant. For QSAM it would be needed, but letting it default to the DSCB would be fatuous. sas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
