DTF Information

z/VSE file characteristics must be predetermined when creating the files. If sending to or receiving from a z/VSE system you must specify the following:

• The record format (RECFM), which can be either fixed (F), fixed blocked (FB), variable (V), or variable blocked (VB).
• The logical record length (LRECL) indicates the number of characters in the longest record in the file.
• The block size (BLKSIZE), which must be one of the following:
  • The LRECL for fixed files
  • A multiple of the LRECL for fixed blocked files
  • The LRECL +4 for variable files
  • The BLKSIZE +4 for variable blocked files
