Yes - code it field by field by field. Rexx does not use record layouts.

Although it is not quite clear what the requirement is here, but your task would appear to be able to be solved with ISPF skeletons, although this is not a direct REXX solution.
In this case, the skeleton serves as "copy book" with the variable substitutions being provided as Dialog Manager (ISPF) variables.

sudipta15ee,

If you have File-Manager or FILE-AID you can print the file based on the copybook in readable format.
