*FIXED
One record has one structured field. The padding character is
binary 0s. The record length of the fixed format file is the length of
the longest AFPDS structured field in the overlay. If the length of
the existing file is smaller than the length of the longest structured
field, an error message is displayed. If the length of the existing file
is larger than the length of the longest structured field, padding
characters are added to the end of the records. This format is for
the VM or the MVS system.
*CONTINUOUS
The structured fields are filled continuously and folded. Only the
last record has padding characters; the padding characters are
binary 0s. Any record length of the existing file is allowed. The
created record length of the file is 256 bytes. This format is for the
OS/2.
