The data admin manual seems to indicate that lrecl=x and locate mode should be used but isn't real clear as to where the record length is set. My interpretation of this is that I get to segment the records myself and build the requisite descriptor words. Which seems a shame since QSAM is supposed to have a 'logical record facility' and do all that stuff for you. Is there an easier way that I am missing?
