"line sequential" isn't relevant for this (IBM mainframe) problem. "VB"
means that it has
DCB=RECFM=VB
where "vb" is "variable and blocked" in IBM-ese
Oh, I guess I should read the subject. "z/OS" is kind of a giveaway, huh?
(I was helping someone else recently where 'VB' meant something else. )
Well, at least The Force is still an option for Mr. Skywalker......
