Organization of a z/OS UNIX file - Key = '801D'

When you code DALFDAT, # and LEN must be 1, and PARM contains one of the following values:

• X'80'— - the file organization is binary records not delimited
• X'40'— - the file organization is text records are EBCDIC delimited by newline characters (x'15')
• X'20'— - the file organization is data records with a prefix indicating the length of the following record.
  Note:
  The record prefix for FILEDATA=RECORD is mapped by the IGGRPFX macro. This is different from the record descriptor word (RDW) that is in z/OS physical sequential format-V data sets.

Example: To specify that a file has records delimited by newline characters, code:

KEY    #     LEN   PARM
801D   0001  0001  40
