mull,

Do you wan to add zeroes at the end of the record or the file??
If at end of the record...yes...you need to increase the record length.

mull,

By definition, if you add two bytes of zeros to the end of a record, the record length of that record will increase by 2 bytes (how could it not?).

If that's not what you're asking, then please clarify your question - show the INREC statement you're using and indicate the RECFM and LRECL of your input file.
