I have a file defined in a program as:
FFileA O A E K Disk
From my understanding, writes to this file should be blocked. However when I look at the I/O for the job, the I/O count and the RRN is always equal. For comparison, reading a file that's blocked has a lower I/O count than the current RRN.
Is this a matter of me not understanding the I/O screen (when looking at the job as it is running), or is this file actually writing a single record at a time?
According to this document, I feel that these writes should be blocked.

"All high-level language programs (HLLs) use blocking at certain times and use single record I/O at other times, based on program specifications. Because blocking takes less system resources to perform a single I/O, a program that blocks performs better and uses less system resources. The default for the HLL uses record blocking if opening a file for output only (write) or input only (read)."
