Hi,

One Suggestiong:

Its better not to Code BLKSIZE, system would assign appropriate value for it.

Try your first code without using BLKSIZE, it would surely work.
The Reason for your LRECL error is, BLKSIZE is not multiple of LRECL

Hi Pradeep,

Whenever we mention BLKSIZE it should be multiple of LRECL.

In BLKSIZE = 32720 is multiple of LRECL=80.

I hope it will clear your doubt.
