      A variation on the mainframe variable record length file where:

      • A 4-byte length consisting of a 2-byte length field that is byte-swapped for intel systems. This does not include the length of the 4-byte word. To be specific, it contains the length of the payload following the 4-byte length field.

      • The last two bytes of the length field are hex ‘00’s.

  • Big-Endian or Little-Endian payload.
