List,

Another question related to the migration of our COBOL programs from VSE to 
iSeries. We have a lot of sequential files that have a BLOCK CONTAINS clause 
specified in the FD. I see that the default compiler option is NOBLK and I 
am getting a "LNC0662 For file %1, BLOCK CONTAINS clause syntax checked 
only." informational message in my compiles.

So what it is best to use (BLK or NOBLK) and why? TIA
