Is '1000' the record count or are you saying that the file contains records with '1000' different combinations of varying fields in the reocrd layout?

shobam's msg above will point you in the right direction
you may also create the layouts in working storage and use REDEFINES at the 01 level or some sublevel after the common fields are defined (if there are indeed a string of common fields).
In any case, some method of record identification must be in a field or combination of fields in order to know which fields get referenced for each record type.

Do not use redefines in the FD at the 01 level. It's not allowed. Just code multiple 01 entries with different defs.
BTW, how will you determine which of the 1000 types you just read? |
