Hi,
I have a requirement to write the data in a single spanned record. For that I need to define the file with maximum record length.
Compiler limits in "COBOL/VSE Language Reference" says that in RECORD CONTAINS clause you can define upto 1,048,575 bytes, but SAM limits it to 32,767.
What is the maximum possible record length in COBOL?
Is there any way or special parameter in COBOL to achieve the above said maximum record length?
Thanks,
Ganesh |

Hello,
Have you a solution for this yet?
Your limitation may well not be COBOL; please see this from the JCL manual:
| Quote: |
Lrecl
Specifies (1) the length, in bytes, for fixed length records or (2) the maximum length, in bytes, for variable-length records.
The value of bytes is:
1 to 32,760 for non-VSAM data sets.
1 to 32,761 for VSAM key-sequenced (KS), entry-sequenced (ES), or relative record (RR) data sets. (LRECL does not apply to VSAM linear space, RECORG=LS, data sets.) |

I opted for LRECL=32760 and it's working.
Thanks.. |
