Subject: WARNING: Bug found in FLIST.MAR
 
I discovered a problem today using FLIST to copy a file.  Basically, the
size of the read request should be an even block boundary---the specified
value, 65534, caused a file to be corrupted on my system.
 
To fix the problem, edit FLIST.MAR and locate the input RAB, INRAB:
 
INRAB:          $RAB    FAB=INFAB, -            ; The File Access Block
                        RAC=SEQ, -              ; Record Access is sequential
                        UBF=INREC, -            ; Input buffer address
                        USZ=65534               ; The max size of an input reco
 
Change the USZ= line to the following:
 
                        USZ=<127*512>           ; The max size of an input reco
 
This ensures that the largest read request is an even 127 blocks.
 
Please make this change ASAP and rebuild FLIST.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
