Hi,

I have noticed one thing that when I do not code the 'Records contains" clause in my program the LRECL is defaulted LRECL to 80. Is it a known behavior, I wonder. Please guide me in this regard.

For your guide on this please refer to the COBOL reference manual.

Yes, it is a known behavior that is explained in the Language Reference manual. The record size of 80, however, depends upon your program.
