Has anybody experieced this? I tried to load FNAT for the latest Natural release but it failed with the messages that are all pasted below. Looks like there is a problem with MAXRECL? Can anybody suggest how I fix this? Many thanks in advance,  
Dave

Checking the error seems DSSIZE that it did not fit the amount of records.  
It would be cool if you showed your ADALOD JCL - I’ll put an example here:
