Problem:
VRECGEN2 is an Mainframe Express utility that reads an uploaded PC file in which the record length is stored with each record, and writes a mainframe file with variable length records.
It can be used for files containing variable-length records in case MFA (Mainframe Access Drag&Drop) cannot be used for Upload (e.g. at VSE operating systems).
Compiling VRECGEN2.cbl on Mainframe may cause the following error:
File "OUT-FILE" was found in an "APPLY WRITE-ONLY" clause, but did not have physical "SEQUENTIAL" organization, variable-length records or a "BLOCK CONTAINS" clause. File "OUT-FILE" was discarded from the "APPLY WRITE-ONLY" clause.
Resolution:
The WRITE-ONLY clause affects performance only, this clause does not impact the resulting output file.
So please commment this line out and recompile.
