In option 3.4, when you enter i infront of PS. U will get following record length.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Works for DASD files, but not for tape or GDG files.
For tapes, run a simple Syncsort job to copy the dataset to a dummy output, and the printout will give you the record count.

FYI...
For Tape Files, Lrecl and other basic information can be found thru
CA-1 UCC1 - TAPE MANAGEMENT System Interface .
In CA-1 Tool, U'll have to enter into Inquiry Option Wherein
we have to give either Vol Serial No of the Tape OR the Name of the Tape File.
We'll get all the Info about the tape like Lrecl ,Created Date/Time,Expiry Date,Block Size,RecFm etc...
However to view data on the tape files, SORT Step need to be executed (which will copy fiel residing from tape to disk).

You can use the TSO/E command LISTDS to find the attributes of a non-VSAM dataset. For a VSAM dataset, the LISTDS command only returns DSORG, which is, VSAM. You would need to then use LISTCAT command to get more information about the VSAM dataset
HTH,
