I am following the instructions in the manual with respect to the DCB:
DCB DSORG=PS,RECFM=VBA,MACRF=(W), .
BLKSIZE=1632,LRECL=125, .
DDNAME=SNAPS,DCBE=SNAPDCBE
The manual states:
DSORG=PS,RECFM=VBA,MACRF=(W),BLKSIZE=nnn,LRECL=xxx,
and DDNAME=any name but SYSABEND, SYSMDUMP or SYSUDUMP
and:
If a standard dump of 120 characters per line is requested, BLKSIZE must be
either
882 or 1632, and LRECL must be 125. A high-density dump printed on a 3800
Printing Subsystem has 204 characters per line. To obtain a high-density dump,
you
must code CHARS=DUMP on the DD statement describing the dump data set. The
BLKSIZE= must be either 1470 or 2724, and the LRECL= must be 209. You can
also code CHARS=DUMP on the DD statement describing a dump data set that will
not be printed immediately. If you specify CHARS=DUMP and the output device is
not a 3800, print lines are truncated and print data is lost. If you open a
SNAP data
set in a problem program that will be processed by the system loader, your
problem
program must close the data set.

Subject: Re: Questions on SNAP/SNAPX usage
Historically, LRECL=121 characterized an old-style FIXED-length print
line of 120 characters and a prefixed carriage-control character,
i.e., RECFM=F|FB.
What exactly is the RECFM= value you are dealing with?
