A few points need correcting:
 - if the record-format for the file is "fixed",
   then 'N' can be any value less than 2**31 (2,147,483,648),
   if your virtual-memory size is large enough;
 - if the record-format for the file is "variable",
   then 'N' can be any value less than 2**16 (65536);
 - you'll still need to issue the following commands,
     SET LRECL  *
     SET TRUNC  *
     SET ZONE 1 *
   in this specific order,
   if you wish to access beyond column 80 of each record;
 - you may wish to use 'SET VERIFY 1 *' to view beyond column 80.

Cheers.
