FXmto with Fixed-Length Record Format
Each fixed-length record in a z/OS dataset includes only the fixed-length data
entity. The record length defined for a fixed-length dataset equals the actual
length of each data entity. The padding option cannot be used for FXmto with
fixed-length records.
No padding, no delimiters. Figure 2-9 shows an FXmto operation for a
fixed-length source dataset. Padding cannot be added to fixed-length records.
FCU extracts and transfers the data entities to the open-system target file. The
length of each data entity in the target file equals the record length defined for
the source dataset.
Source Dataset Open-System Target File
Record length Record length
Record 1: Data entity 1 Data entity 1
Record 2: Data entity 2 → Data entity 2
Record 3: Data entity 3 Data entity 3

Delimiters
With delimiters. Figure 2-10 shows an FXmto operation with delimiters (D)
for a fixed-length source dataset. FCU extracts and transfers the data entities
to the open-system target file and adds the requested delimiter to the end of
each data entity. The resulting length of each data entity in a UNIX target file
equals the original record length plus one byte for the delimiter. The resulting
length of each data entity in a Windows 2000/2003/Windows NT target file
equals the original record length plus two bytes for the delimiter.
Source Dataset Open-System Target File
Record length Record length + 1 or 2 bytes
Record 1: Data entity 1 Data entity 1 D
Record 2: Data entity 2 → Data entity 2 D
Record 3: Data entity 3 Data entity 3 D
