The PERRCD keyword allows you to specify the number of elements per record for a compile-time or a prerun-time array or table. If the PERRCD keyword is not specified, the number of elements per record defaults to one (1).
The numeric_constant parameter must be a value greater than 0 with no decimal positions. It can be a numeric literal, a built-in function returning a numeric value, or a numeric constant. If the parameter is a named constant, it does not need to be defined prior to this specification.
The PERRCD keyword is valid only when the keyword FROMFILE, TOFILE, or CTDATA is specified.
