Record length requirements

The maximum supported record length (LRECL) is 32760 bytes. Fixed record length data sets and in-stream data sets are examined to determine if their records contain sequence numbers. If sequence numbers exist, they are assumed to consist of eight contiguous numeric characters occupying the last eight bytes of the input record. If a record is found to contain a sequence number, the length of the input record is adjusted to remove the sequence number.
Note: Ensure that you do not place numeric data that is intended as parameter data in the final eight characters of fixed length records or in-stream data records.
