Variable Format Record Sequential File

In a variable format record sequential file each record written is preceded by a record header containing the length of the record.

Padding characters can follow a record to ensure that the next record starts on a four-byte boundary. Records that are four bytes or smaller are padded to a minimum of eight bytes.

The file contains a standard file header record.
