MAINFRAME – PS DATASET GETTING NUMBER AT END AUTOMATICALLY
Whenever we create a PS dataset and edit it to create new records, the last 8 bytes would be automatically occupied by the number sequence as shown below.
=COLS> -1—-+—-2—-+—-3—-+—-4—-+—-5—-+—-6—-+—-7—-+—-8
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************

This happens as the NUMBER option in PROFILE is ON.
To stop getting these numbers automatically, have the NUMBER option in OFF mode by providing the command NUM OFF. Now when you insert a new record, you will not see this number.
