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.
Can anyone explain?

I will try to answer as per my understanding on the
behaviour.
With cobol-2 junk values- This is because the the 40 bytes
are not properly initialized and so the system puts some
junk values.
With enterprise cobol - spaces- I beleive that the
enterprise cobol before using an work arean intialize it by
itself and then use it. that is the reason why the unused
40 bytes had spaces.
My answer is just an assumption
