question describ as following:
writing a record to a sequential file: write out-record from ws-out-record.
does it need the same size (record length) for out-record and ws-out-record,
if out-record<ws-out-record then what's happen?
if out-record>ws-out-record then wha't happen?
thank you!

Hello,

Technicaly, they do not have to be the same size. Having said that - make them the same size

If they are not the same size either truncation (sending area longer) or blank padding (sending area shorter) will occur.

thank you very much!

You're welcome
