The RECL specifier asks the maximum record length for a file. It
takes the following form:
RECL = rcl
- rcl
- Is an integer scalar memory reference whose value depends on
the following conditions:
- If the file or unit is open, rcl is the maximum
record length allowed.
- If a specified file does not exist or
is not opened, rcl is zero.
The rcl value is expressed in longwords if a file is (or
has been) opened for unformatted I/O, and in bytes in all other
circumstances.
