Gibson,

Try using LISTF mode 11 (ie. LISTF filename,11). This shows
the RecSize in bytes regardless of the file type. I prefer to use the
LISTFILE command which supercedes LISTF.

When I build a file I specify the record length in bytes.  But the display
in LISTF is in WORDS.
I realize that 256 bytes equals 128 words; however, the programmers see a
difference and
wish to avoid any differences in some test they are running.

So, how do I control either the BUILD or the LISTF commands to be
consistent.

:LISTF TESTFILE,2
Non-existent file. (CIERR 907)
:BUILD TESTFILE;REC=-256
:LISTF TESTFILE,2
ACCOUNT=  XXX         GROUP=  PUB

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

TESTFILE          128W  FB           0       1023   1        0  0  *
