Record Layouts

Record layouts are used for those functions where field-level processing is required, such as:

Browsing and editing of data sets using a formatted view that displays the data for individual fields
Formatted printing of data records
Reformatting data records
Specifying filters (selection criteria) using conditions that evaluate field values

To use a record layout, define either the library and member name of a COBOL or PL/I record layout member or a custom layout.
