|
||
|
|
<div><p>As an option, you can specify the record length in your high-level
|
||
|
|
language program.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The system needs to know the length of the record your program will be
|
||
|
|
processing, but it is not required that you specify the record length in your
|
||
|
|
program. The system automatically determines this information from the attributes
|
||
|
|
and description of the file named in your program. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the file that is opened contains records that are longer than the length
|
||
|
|
specified in the program, the system allocates a storage area to match the
|
||
|
|
file member's record length and this option is ignored. In this case, the
|
||
|
|
entire record is passed to the program. (However, some high-level languages
|
||
|
|
allow you to access only that portion of the record defined by the record
|
||
|
|
length specified in the program.) If the file that is opened contains records
|
||
|
|
that are less than the length specified in the program, the system allocates
|
||
|
|
a storage area for the program-specified record length. The program can use
|
||
|
|
the extra storage space, but only the record lengths defined for the file
|
||
|
|
member are used for input/output operations.</p>
