LRECL keyword
The LRECL keyword specifies the maximum logical record length of the sort input file.
In general, the smaller the value for LRECL, the better the performance of the sort task will be. However, if the value is too small, it can degrade performance or cause the sort task to terminate.
Normally, the internally calculated default value should provide good performance. You do not need to specify LRECL unless you are processing large Fast Path change records.
