Defining files using record I/O

You define files for record-oriented data transmission by using a file declaration with the following attributes:

DCL filename FILE RECORD
             INPUT | OUTPUT | UPDATE
             SEQUENTIAL
             BUFFERED
             ENVIRONMENT(options);

Default file attributes are shown in Table 13. The file attributes are described in the PL/I Language Reference. Options of the ENVIRONMENT attribute are discussed below.
