o JCL commands ignore all characters beyond 80 o SYSIN data sets may have far more than 80. o The rules for determining the values of LRECL and RECFM of a SYSIN at DCB OPEN merge are largely undocumented. I believe they differ between JES2 and JES3. I have a long unanswered RCF on this. I should nudge it. o FTP imposes an antiquated limit of 254 on JESLRECL. This should be fodder for an RFE. o LRECL= is allowed on DD SYSIN. It may not have the effect you want. o But RECFM= is prohibited on DD SYSIN. Go figger. o TSO and ISPF SUBMIT are oblivious; stuck in the 20th century. ISPF submit quietly truncates to 80. I consider this data loss. o Beware that you may cause I/O errors on many utility SYSINs. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
