Use this record-level keyword to send or receive multiple or partial records using one record format per output operation. On a send operation, you must specify the length of data to be sent using the VARLEN keyword. Otherwise, the length of the record format is used. On a receive operation, the length of data received is the length of the record format.
This keyword has no parameters.
VARBUFMGT is ignored at run time when a CANCEL, EOS, FAIL, NEGRSP, RSPCONFIRM, or RQSWRT keyword is in effect. These keywords must have option indicators when they apply to a record that has the VARBUFMGT keyword specified.

Specify at least one data field (usage B or blank) for the user data in the record format.
