If the file length is 133 then the write statement will add a control field in the first position, is that right?
Is there any other different length will take some special action? |

So,where does the first byte come from in the report file which length is 133?
The report only contain 132 bytes. |

Hi,
Can you check if your JCL is having RECFM=FBA. Here, the "A" in "FBA" is the attribute byte.
Note that if you brose the file (using line command 'b' in DSLIST/3.4) you will see that its just 132 bytes. But if you use view command (v) in DSLIST , you will actually see the first byte as an ANSI carriage control character. |
