Record length (RCDLEN)

Specifies the number of bytes in the length of the records stored in the physical file. Valid values range from 1 through 32766 bytes.

If a record length is specified and *DATA is specified for the File type prompt (FILETYPE parameter), the record format contains one field. If a record length is specified and *SRC is specified for the File type prompt (FILETYPE parameter), the record format contains three fields: source sequence number, date, and source statement.

If this parameter is specified, the Source file prompt (SRCFILE parameter) and the Source member prompt (SRCMBR parameter) cannot be specified.
