Something like -
| Code: |
FD IN-FILE
RECORDING MODE V
LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD
BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS. |
where IN-FILE is input file.
And in this
| Quote: |
| cobol file having varibale length 200 |
Does "200" includes RDW ? If yes, then in DCB LRECL would be 200 else 204 (added 4 for RDW). You can search for DCB in the link posted by Expat, it has some examples as well & better explanations..
Hope this helps... |

I have seen in some books like
FD infile
recording mode is V
record is varying in size from <starting> to <ending>
depending on <some varibale>
what it means? In my requirement variable length record is 200. Please let me know how to code in FD.
Thanks,
Bhaskar |

Hello Bachi and welcome to the forums,
If your record length is 200 only, why is this defined as a variable length file?
The first order of business is to determine if you have variable length or fixed length data. What are the attributes shown if you use tso/ispf 3.4 and display the information about the file? If you post what is shown for these attributes, it will help us help you:
| Code: |
Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : FB
Record length . . . : 80
Block size . . . . : 27920
