LRECL Parameter Example

Scenario1 - Defining an PS with LRECL of 500 bytes

Code -

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+
//NEWPS  DD DSN=MTH.DATA.PSFILE,
//          DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//          UNIT=SYSDA,
//          SPACE=(TRK,(3,2),RLSE),
//          DCB=(DSORD=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,BLKSIZE=5000)

Scenario2 - Defining a PDS member with LRECL of 80 bytes

Code -

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+
//NEWPDS DD DSN=MTH.DATA.PDS,
//          DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//          UNIT=SYSDA,
//          SPACE=(TRK,(3,2,2),RLSE),
//          DCB=(DSORD=PO,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800)
