This is documented in the AMS manual. " Commands can begin at, or to the right of, the left margin. For batch processing jobs, the default margins are 2 and 72. Commands are separated from their parameters by one or more separators (blanks, commas, or comments). For some parameters, parentheses are used as separators. Comments are strings of characters surrounded by /* and */. Comments can contain any characters except */.
The DCB of SYSIN is not required to be LRECL=80, but, by default IDCAMS will only look a columns 2-72" This implies you can tell IDCAMS to look beyond col 72, but I did not look up how to perform such an action. HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mark Jacobs Sent: Thursday, February 6, 2020 8:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IDCAMS Sysin LRECL GT 80 bytes [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you trust the sender.] Does IDCAMS work with sysin control cards from a dataset with an lrecl greater than 80 bytes? I've tried datasets with lrecl=240 and 255, and it looks like it's not accepting any operands past column 71.
