80-Column Minds (Was: SMP/E question):
But I was surprised and pleased to find that it just
worked in JES2 (at least by the time we got around to
using MVS 3.8). So as far as I know, this was never a
problem or restriction in JES2 (like it was in HASP).
I just wrote the long records to a SYSOUT=(x,INTRDR)
data set. The only thing you had to watch was that
the actual JCL and JECL could not be anything other
than LRECL=80. So, the program actually used two DCBs
to write the records to the INTRDR SYSOUT data set,
depending on and using the implied SYSOUT DISP=MOD.
The '//XXXXXX DD *' record was written with the DCB
that had LRECL=80, but the in-stream input records
were written with the LRECL=20x DCB. It just worked.
I may be misremembering but could you not just use RECFM=V and send
84 byte JCL and 208/212 LRECL SYSIN Data?
