Since z/OS about 1.4 or 1.5, JES2 has supported instream data sets with RECFM=VB and LRECL>80; up to at least a few hundred. (This facility is much older in JES3.) I've found it useful at times; it much simplifies the task of formatting input data. And it has been (pre-)announced that z/OS 2.1 will support instream data sets in PROCs.
So, in 2.1, will I be able to use RECFM=VB and long records in instream data sets in instream procs? Will I be able to define JCLLIB with RECFM=VB to support such instream data sets there? (The less said about PROCLIB this month, the better.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
