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.
