What COBOL product and version are you using? On what platform?
You mention a block size, which suggests that you're working with mainframe data, or with data that was migrated from the mainframe. In MF COBOL you can specify the block size, but as the documentation states it's documentary - it has no effect.
The record size is specified in a file definition with the RECORD clause. This is quite straightforward.
It would help to know what you're doing (where did the file come from, for example?), and what you've already tried.
