     Blocked fixed-length records.
  • FBA.
     Blocked fixed-length records with ANSI control characters.
  • FU.

  • VBA.
     Blocked variable-length records with ANSI control characters.
  • VU.
     Undefined length records.
Default is F.
  • If you specify either FU and VU for the RECFM value, PowerExchange uses RECFM=U in the dynamic allocation request.
  • If you omit both the LRECL and RECFM statements, PowerExchange uses 32752 for the LRECL value and VB for the RECFM value when allocating data sets.
