SuperC support for VSAM records greater than 64K

We have a customer that wants to use VSAM datasets with record sizes greater than 64K. They rely on SUPERC to do comparisons of test runs. SUPERC does not support record sizes greater than 64K. We would like to see an enhancement for this support.

    SuperC currently only supports 2-byte record lengths throughout all processing, and increasing that range would involve major changes to the existing code. We do not see sufficient value in this request to be worth the time and resources needed to implement it at present, so we are declining it. We may however revisit this in future if we have any other reason to consider supporting record lengths exceeding 65,535.
