The record specifier identifies the number of the record you
wish to access in a file with sequential or
relative organization. It takes the following form:
REC=r
- r
- Is a numeric expression with a value
that represents the position of the record to be accessed by using
direct access I/O. The value must be greater than or
equal to 1, and less than or equal to the maximum number of records
allowed in the file. If necessary, a record
number is converted to integer data type before being used.
