Record length

 

The RCDLEN parameter specifies the length of records in a physical file (CRTPF and CRTSRCPF commands).

If the file is described to the record level only, then you specify the RCDLEN parameter when the file is created. This parameter cannot be specified if the file is described using DDS, IDDU, or SQL (the system automatically determines the length of records in the file from the field-level descriptions).
