Problem with variable length print

Postby Ron Mascarenhas » Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:29 pm

I have a problem printing variable length records.

For example if I specify the following and the record is shorter than 256, I get an error. Even tried VLSHRT and VLSCMP.
DISPLAY FROM(INDD) LIST(LISTDD) ON(1,256,HEX)

Ron,

Also, what is the LRECL of the input file? For short records, do you want the missing bytes padded with blanks or something else?
