    Difference between RECFM = FB and RECFM = F

    What is the difference between RECFM = FB and RECFM = F and also between RECFM = VB and RECFM = V? Till date I have only be using RECFM = FB or VB as this already existed for the older JCLs.

    FB: The allocation of the memory units for Records takes in blocks. i.e you are externally telling the OS to store the records in blocks. where as F is nothing but Fixed records where the records will be stored on the default units OS.

    VB --> (V)Variable blocks used for variable records where it take extra 4 bytes to store the length of each record.

    As mentioned earlier the B --> block tell the OS to store the records in blocks.
