When you are used to truly long lines, the z/OS use of 121 or 132 byte "print lines" can be a real PITA. UNIX people are used to longer lines so that a "logical entity" is normally on just one line. This type of output is much easier to parse with normal UNIX utilities. I guess it's what you're used to. I, personally, have not actually printed _anything_ on paper for _years_. I keep my output in either sequential data sets or UNIX files. I prefer UNIX files, but I put stuff in data sets to be kind to others who view UNIX as something arcane and impossible to learn. -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
