What is the LRECL for printer files in COBOL
Sun, 11/27/2011 - 20:57
LRECL for printer file is generally 133 record length in JCL but I have
seen that some COBOL programs use 132 LRECL but some would use record
length of 133, can someone point out what could be the rational behind this?

While 132/133 and 120/121 are probably the most common, a COBOL program can use many different report lrecls depending on requirements.
The difference between 132/133 is the carriage control character that controls spacing.
