I try to read any kind of VB file but I got FS 39 (lrecl mismatch)


FD MYFILE
RECORDING V BLOCK 0 RECORDS
RECORD IS VARYING FROM 1 TO 32756 DEPENDING ON WS-CPT.


If the VB file is a "text" file with records delimited by CRLF, it has to be
ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL in COBOL.

If the VB file is something else, then I think you may need to engage a
