ORG Instruction

The ORG instruction specifies the file organization, and can be one of:

ORG Instruction File Organization
IX indexed
RL relative
SQ sequential (default value)
LS line sequential

You do not need to specify an ORG instruction for input files that are either variable length or indexed files as the file characteristics can be deduced from the file itself.
