I do not remember the quote being a JCL construct
as a general point it means that all the records have the same lenght |

Hi,
have seen it in a SORT SYSIN parameter
Quote: |
----------------- V=IBM P=Z/OS DFSORT UTILITY R=V1R5 I=SORT -----------------
> RECORD:
The RECORD statement tells DFSORT the record format and lengths
of the records in the input file for a sort or merge operation.
You only need a RECORD statement if the INPUT is from a VSAM file,
when a user exit changes the record length, or a user exit supplies
all of the input records. The format of the RECORD control statement
is:
RECORD TYPE={F | D},LENGTH=(len1{,len2,len3}) |
TYPE=V,LENGTH=(len1{,len2,len3,len4,len5,len6,len7})
TYPE= provides the RECFM of the input, either F (fixed),
V (variable), or D (ISCII/ASCII variable).

Hello,

If this is truly in jcl, it means there will be a jcl error. . .
If you post more complete info (as Anuj requested), someone will be able to clarify for you.
As Expat mentioned, it specifies fixed length records (rather than variable length). |

I apologize , I mislead you all.
It is in the sort card and sorting CSV file.
OPTION COPY
RECORD TYPE=F,LENGTH=500
