THE BELOW INFORMATION ALSO IS USEFUL FOR THE DECLERATION.

Fixed Block File
• Use ORGANISATION IS SEQUENTIAL. Use RECORDING MODE
IS F, BLOCK CONTAINS 0.

Fixed Unblocked
• Use ORGANISATION IS SEQUENTIAL. Use RECORDING
MODE IS F, do not use BLOCK CONTAINS

Variable Block File
• Use ORGANISATION IS SEQUENTIAL. Use RECORDING MODE
IS V, BLOCK CONTAINS 0. Do not code the 4 bytes for record
length in FD i.e. JCL REC length will be max REC length
in PGM + 4

Variable Unblocked
• Use ORGANISATION IS SEQUENTIAL. Use RECORDING MODE
IS V, do not use BLOCK CONTAINS. Do not code 4 bytes for
record length in FD i.e. JCL REC length will be max REC
length in PGM + 4.

ESDS VSAM file
• Use ORGANISATION IS SEQUENTIAL.

KSDS VSAM file
• Use ORGANISATION IS INDEXED, RECORD KEY IS,
ALTERNATE RECORD KEY IS

RRDS File
• Use ORGANISATION IS RELATIVE, RELATIVE KEY IS

Printer File
• Use ORGANISATION IS SEQUENTIAL. Use RECORDING MODE
IS F, BLOCK CONTAINS 0. (Use RECFM=FBA in JCL DCB).
