Hi !
No, you can't do this.
1.) You can't alter interacticly the Lrecl of a cataloged Flatfile.
2.) Only Read Access, then if it where possible (but it is not possible)
RACF would not allow you to alter a dataset.

Hi !
I think kanak is talkink about PDSFAST, it's an Enhancement Produkt for
with TSO surface. An other one is FILEAID. They must be installed in your environment.
But as I mentioned, you said, you only have read access. And if the systemprogrammer had done a good job, then anyway RACF would not allow you to do what you want.

Hi !
Best is to read in the FileAid online tutorial. or have a look at Bookmanager.
And once more:
But as I mentioned, you said, you only have read access. And if the systemprogrammer had done a good job, then anyway RACF would not allow you to do what you want.

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=DSNNAME,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=DSNNAME(same as SYSUT1),DISP=(,CATLG),
// UNIT=EXPL,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=27930)
