DALRECFM specifies the record format. When you code this key, #
and LEN must be one, and PARM contains one of the following values:
- X'02'
- Machine code printer control characters in record (M), or complete
QTAM record (R)
- X'04'
- ASA printer control characters in record (A), or complete QTAM
message (G)
- X'08'
- Standard fixed records, spanned variable records, or segment
of QTAM message (S)
- X'10'
- Blocked records (B)
- X'20'
- Variable ASCII records (D), or track overflow (T)
- X'40'
- Variable records (V)
- X'80'
- Fixed records (F)
- X'C0'
- Undefined records (U)
Note: When you code combinations of RECFM values, PARM contains
the sum of the values.
Example: To specify fixed records, code:
KEY # LEN PARM
0049 0001 0001 80
Example: To specify variable blocked (VB)
records, code:
KEY # LEN PARM
0049 0001 0001 50
