Hi there... this is my first post!
Is there any way to read or write RECFM=U datasets from COBOL? I can't find any info about it in my COBOL book or online.

Hello Tzadik and welcome to the forums,
What data do you want to read that is recfm=u? This is mostly used for loadlib members and some proprietary uses (which have supporting utility code.

Hello,
How was the binary file created?
If the source of the data was unix or win-based, you may have more "opportunities" than simply reading the file.
