  ****************************************************************
  A PL/I batch program goes into a loop when processing a GET
  statement for an HFS file. The HFS file is declared as stream
  input with no RECSIZE environment option specified.
  

Problem conclusion

• When an HFS file is declared with no RECSIZE environment option
  specified and is opened for stream input, the PL/I library did
  not set a default record size value correctly. The problem has
  now been corrected.
