Definition(s)
value
An integer in the range 1 to 310 for offline (133 is the
default) or 150, the online default. For offline sys-
tems, the tape label contents may override a value.
For online systems, if you define a record length
larger than the default block length (1330 bytes),
you must also define a block length that is big
enough to hold the record. If a larger block length is
not specified, the default length value is used and
the system produces a warning message on the
system controller display.
The default is 133 offline, and 150 online.
value
Specifies the multiplication factor. The value speci-
fied is multiplied by the value in the length field to
compute the number of bytes in the record. A value
is an integer in the range 1.
The default is 1.
size
Specifies, in bytes, the record length field length. It
must be an integer in the range 0 to 5. If the size is
set equal to zero, record lengths are not contained
in the records, and the record length is the maxi-
mum length (LENGTH) for each record.
The default is 0.
size
Specifies the record length field offset. This offset is
the byte offset from the first byte of the record to the
record length field. A value must be an integer in the
range 0 (the default) to LENGTH-LTHFLD-1.
The default is 0.
length
Specifies the length in bytes of an area at the end of
each record which is not to be processed. The
length must be an integer in the range 0 (the de-
fault) to record length.
The default is 0.
length
The byte offset from the first byte of the record to the
first byte of the user's portion of the record. The
length must be an integer in the range 0 (the de-
fault) to record length.
The default is 0.
