DSPJRN

Hi,
I am building an outfile using DSPJRN to examine
changes made to a MASTER file.  I use
OUTFILFMT(*TYPE1)  and   ENTDTALEN(*CALC).

The resulting outfile has a length = 257 bytes.
The fixed portion of the journal entry = 125 bytes.
The variable-length portion for output format  *TYPE1 
consists of an entry specific data field, JOESD.
This should contain the before or after image of the rec for
journal entry code R transactions.
The length of JOESD = 132 bytes.
The length of a rec in the MASTER file is 128 bytes.
How come JOESD takes up the 132 bytes rather
then 128 bytes?  (I'm guessing that the 4 bytes is
storing in binary format the length of JOESD, but I couldn't
find any supporting documentation.)
TIA
