I am not aware of any such capability in SPECIAL files (it is "file"
by the way not "exit") - they originate many many moons ago and have
very limited utility.

Thanks. I call them "exit" routines because of the way we use
them. Meaning, yes they are coded on the F-spec as a file exit and we use
the EXIT op code to "pass" additional parameters back and forth as RLABL
and ULABL structures. So, I suppose I could just provide another
parameter in the RLABL structure for the record length. Was hoping it
could be done automagically though. ;-)


Sincerely,
