HELP: Record format of the original file TYPE: NUMBER SYNTAX: INRECFORMAT/IRECFORM/IRECFMT/IRECFM/IRECF=EAF/FIX/DTEXT/TEXT/STREAM/VARIABLE/UNDEFINED/U/F/FIXBLK/FB/V/VARBLK/VB/FIXS/FBS/VARSPAN/VBS/VAR_2B/VAR2B_DATA/VAR_4B/VAR_ASCII/VAR_EBCDIC
This parameter specifies the record format of the original input file. The data is read from the input file in the form of logical records with the specified format in order to save them compressed or uncompressed in the FLAMFILE.
