Answer Posted / mdv

Technically, both answer #2 and #3 are correct. However,
answer #3 is better.


There are cases when the LRECL of some generations ( after
some change) are different from the others. In that case,
you cannot use the base.

You'll have to concatenate same LRECL files together and
proceed.
