I am not so sure about it, but I was suspecting that
different implementations used RECL in different ways
before it was standardized. If it was standardized
first, there should not be this ambiguity.
I had once thought that unformatted files were in
terms of what now seems to be called
"numeric storage unit". I was, then, surprised to
find them in terms of bytes.
