How do you know "Record Size"?

Yes, the read would grab the next block of 1024 or however many bytes are
left til it reaches the end.

Just like an DB2 read reads the next record.

This is the preferred way for reading binary files, in a big chunk at a
time, usually the record size.  Usually doesn't work too well for text
files
though.

Would you have this in a Do-Loop, to read each 1024 blocks of data?
Say something like...

C                DOU          Whatever
C                EVAL      CHARSREAD     = read(fp: %addr(input): 1024)
C                   IF        CHARSREAD    <=  0
C                   LEAVE
C                   ENDIF
C                ENDDO

Would this be accurate?  Will the read() know to pull the next 1024 each
time?
