'end of record' - do you mean end of file, or do you want to determine the record length?

as expat said: fixed or variable?

fixed is easy- if you get a good open and read on the file, then you can assume that you have defined the file properly in your code and jcl - thus the length of a fixed length record is what you defined as the record description.

variable will require more explanation.
