No they are not terminated with CR or LF or anything. They are just different length records with no length prefix or any suffix at all in a RECFM=U file.
I was the one who suspected that the original source file from the vendor was from Unix somewhere due to the content. Goal here was to get this weird format file loaded on our system by the vendor into something normal for z/OS, like RECFM=VB. But in any case the other application team has it under their control now, so it is out of my hands.

Peter, I was scanning through this thread. It sounds like the records are terminated with a 'CR' or 'CRLF' , i.e.; x'0d' or x'0d0a' , is this correct Scott On Tue, Jun 18, 2019 at 10:14 AM Paul Gilmartin < 0000000433f07816-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > On Tue, 18 Jun 2019 03:43:18 +0000, Farley, Peter x23353 wrote: > > >Very interesting.
