Did you lookup the ALTER command parameters (TSO HELP ALTER)?
The help text shows that you can enter the command:
TSO ALTER 'entryname' RECORDSIZE(average maximum)
where
'RECORDSIZE' - Specifies the average and maximum lengths, in bytes, of the records in the data component.
'average' - Average length of the records in the data component.
'maximum' - Maximum length of the records in the data component.
Now, common sense would indicate that this option is restricted to VSAM KSDS file structures. |
