Interesting. If I have//SYSUT1 DD *,SYMBOLS=CNVTSYS
Lots of data to fill up a line, followed by a long symbol to see &X.
I get the IEB351I I/O ERROR, but if"
//SYSUT1 DD *,SYMBOLS=CNVTSYS
Lots of data to fill up a line, followed by a long symbol to see &X.
Y
(note the trailing "Y"), no error. Apparently SYMBOLS will compress subsequent
interior blanks to maintain the record length, but it won't trim trailing
blanks.
I wonder if this is a bug? Or if the record length is set by the Reader, and
can't be increased by SYMBOLS?
