Not much information there, but I'm assuming you are
looking at an IDCAMS step and see something like

IF LASTCC=8 THEN DO
SET MAXCC=3
END

This is typically used when deleting/defining a GDG or VSAM
file, in case the delete fails (because the file wasn't
there to be deleted). This allows processing to continue
after that step, as the programmer decided that manual
intervention was not required. Depending on system
settings, the job my stop processing further steps based on
a condition code set in any step in the job (MAXCC). This
value is typically 8 (any completion code 8 or greater will
stop further processing).

I have a source program compiled with Cobol-2. The output file has a record length of 100 defined in the program but a record of 60 bytes getting written into it. i.e. The rest of 40 bytes I am not Writing anything. But it by default puts some values into the last 40 bytes. However it does not impact anything. But when Compiled the module with Enterprise Cobol the last 40 bytes were spaces as fillers.
