xternalObject

As discussed earlier, an xternalObject is placed in a file record when an object does not fit in a single control record and has overflowed into one or more additional records.

Note:
In our discussion, we are still referring to the example described in Figure 52.

The following are attributes or fields to look for in a filed xternalObject:

You can calculate the exact displacements to these attributes as well as their lengths by reading the definition of the xternalObject instance in the TPFCS source code.
