Answer / mainframe.rahulz
First thing is we can see this kind of differece only in VB
files not in fixed block files.
LRECL of VB file will contain the maximum record length of
a file + 4 bytes RDW(Record Descriptor Word) field which
gives the length of the record as the file contains
variable record lengths.
Example : if we have EMP-FILE VB file which contains 80
THRU 100 CHARECTERS
So the LRECL of this file is going to be 100+4 which is 104
bytes.
