|
01xx xxxx |
Variable format |
AS/400 For print files, sets either variable or fixed format (bits 1 and 1). For punch files, sets this field to X'80'.
JES2 uses the RECFM in the DCB specified in the job's JCL to set the field. The DCB defines other settings not defined by this field. JES2 allows all flag settings and transmits them across the network.
JES3 does not use this field.
RSCS sets this field to X'42' for print files and X'80' for punch files. For print files, it uses this field to decide what record length to use in determining whether to make an incoming file a virtual 1403 file or a 3211 file. (For more details, see the NDHGLREC field.)
For punch files, this field is used with NDHGLREC to determine the proper record length to use in detecting files containing punch records greater than 80 characters. Also used to determine whether to forward punch records of a store-and-forward file with or without carriage control.
RSCS modifies this field for certain Type and Ranges of store-and-forward data when RSCS acts as an intermediate node An NJE node situated between an origin node and a destination node. See node. For Version 3.1, this restriction is removed.
POWER does not use this field, but sets it to X'Cx' (undefined) and supports values of the field.

JES2 uses the RECFM in the DCB specified in the job's JCL to set the field.
JES3 sets the carriage control to ASA, machine, or none (5 and 6 off). Uses only carriage control bits on input.
RSCS sets this field to X'42' for print files and X'80' for punch files. For punch files, this field determines whether to forward punch records of store-and-forward data when RSCS acts as an intermediate node. For Version 3.1, this last restriction is removed.
POWER does not used this field but sets it to X'Cx' (undefined). At store-and-forward nodes, files with ASA carriage control do not get the CC converted to machine carriage control.
Length and type: .5 binary
Default value: 0
Maximum logical record length (LRECL) of any record in the data set. It includes the carriage control character if specified for the data set.
AS/400 sets the field as follows:
X'80' for punch files. When the AS/400 receives punch files with records greater than 80 bytes, it truncates the records at the destination nodes.
X'32,760' for AFPDS print files before Version 2.1.
The maximum record length of all records in the file for AFPDS, LINE, and FPDSLINE files in Version 2.1 and all subsequent releases. AS/400 records the longest record in the file when it is first spooled.
X'4079' or X'512' for all SCS, IPDS, and ASCII files.
S/390 does NOT support these file Type
and Ranges; route these through an S/390 only to get the final AS/400 destination.
JES2 gets the LRECL from the DCB. Includes the carriage control character.
JES3 uses the field if it is not zero. JES3 sets the field according to the Type and Range of data set and the presence of carriage control as follows:
Print with CC 133 (132 without CC)
Punch with CC 81 (80 without CC)
RSCS uses this field as follows:
For incoming print files, this field determines whether the files are defined as 1403, 3211, or 3800 files.
|

3800 |
|
205 - 32765 |
VAFP (if supported on a VM system) |
Punch records greater than 80 (greater than 81 with carriage control) get truncated at the destination node. In the setting field, RSCS gets the LRECL from TAGRECLN (with one added to each record to account for the CCTL byte) as follows:
For punch files, this field is set to 80.
Virtual 3800 fields that contain any load CCWs have this field set to 8192 (regardless of the actual maximum record length in the file).
RSCS does not modify this field as an intermediate node.
POWER uses the field and sets it to the maximum length of any record in the data set up to a maximum record length of 32K-1.
Length, type, and range: 2 binary (0-32760)
Default value: 0
The data set copy count. This field defines the number of copies to print or punch at the destination node and will be used if the data set is printed on an impact printer. If it is printed on a non-impact printer, the copy group count is used.
AS/40 sets this field:
to 0 for punch files
to the number of copies left to print, then reads this field to determine the total number of copies for print files.
JES2 sets the data set copy count to the number of copies for the data set.
JES3 sets and uses the data set copy count. If the value in the field is 0, one copy of the data set is produced.
RSCS sets the field from the copy count specified on the SPOOL command. RSCS uses the field to set the spool copy count.
POWER sets the field with the information supplied from the COPY parameter of the '* $$ LST' or '* $$ PUN' statement. It is used as the copy count (defaulted to 1).
Length, type, and range: 1 binary (0-225)
Default value: 0
Used as an index byte if loading the FCB on a 3211. Allows the user to print each line with the data shifted right or left by up to 31 characters. A negative value indicates left indexing, which removes data characters. A positive value indicates right indexing, which adds leading blanks.
AS/400 sets this field to the default value but does not use it.
JES2 supports right and left indexing.
JES3 and POWER set this field to the default value but do not use it.
RSCS does not use the field. Set from the INDEX keyword on the TAG statement. (You can only specify positive values.)
Length, type, and range: 1 binary (-31 to 31)
Default value: 0
Default lines per page for SYSOUT files. Use this field only when the NDHGF1LC field (offset X'1') is on. A value of X'00' or X'FF' causes the system not to count lines or use a local default value, depending on the system. Treats all other values as an explicit number of lines on a page before the printing subsystem generates a page eject.
AS/400 sets this field to the default value but does not use it.
JES2 obtains the value from the job's JCL. The special values X'00' and X'FF' are used as follows:
X'00' (default): Use the printing subsystem's default value.
X'FF' Do not force page ejects. Let the skipping be determined by the carriage control (if present) in the SYSOUT data.
JES3, RSCS, and POWER set this field to the default value but do not use it.
Length and type: 1 binary
Default value: 0
Name of the form to use while printing or punching the data set.
AS/400 sets this field to blanks if the AS/400 form Type and Range is greater than 8 characters or *STD. In other cases, it sets the field equal to AS/400.
JES2 and JES3 use the first four bytes followed by blanks. They set forms to zero if not specified. If received, either zero or blanks indicate the STD forms.
RSCS sets the field with the value supplied by CP FORM unless the value supplied by TAG overrides it. Only sets the default when the CP SPOOL command specifies NULL for the FORM name. Used for the CP FORM when not defaulted. When the header field contains the default (blanks), the CP FORM name gets set to the installation's default.
POWER uses only the first four bytes because POWER uses four-character form names. For a 3800 SYSOUT data set, a value of X'00' indicates to use hardware defaults and a value of X'40' indicates to use software defaults. When the job originates on a non-POWER system (POWER section is missing), uses X'00' as the software default.
Length and type: 8 character
Default value: blanks
If the input value is the variable FOLDER,
then the assigned value is the last folder name, immediately preceding
the file name.
Name of the FCB to use if this data gets printed.
AS/400 sets the field to blanks for print files and then reads the field to find the printer file name to open to spool the files.
JES2 uses only the first four bytes followed by blanks. Sets FCB to zero if not specified. If received, either zero or blanks indicate that the default FCB (**** ) is desired. The first four bytes are prefixed as follows:
'FCB1' 1403
'FCB2' 3211 and 3202-5
'FCB3' 3800
'FCB4' 4245 and 4248
JES3 sets and uses the field but the default is zero.
RSCS uses this field for the FCB for a spool file. Set from FCB on the SPOOL command. Only uses the first four characters. The CP TAG command (up to eight characters) can override the field.
POWER uses the field as the FCB name. Sets the field from the FCB name if one was specified. Can set the last four characters to '$$$$' for device-independence. For a 3800 data set, a value of X'00' indicates to use hardware defaults. When the job originates from a non-POWER system (POWER section was not present), uses X'00' as the software default.
Length and type: 8 character
Default value: blanks
Name of the UCS, known as the print train, to use to print this data set.
AS/400 sets the field to blanks for print files and does not use it.
JES2 and JES3 use only the first four bytes followed by blanks. Sets USC to zero if not specified. If received, either zero or blanks indicate the default UCS (**** ) is desired. Uses NDHATAB1 if UCS is specified as "****", blanks, or zeros. JES2 prefixes the first four bytes as follows:
'USC1' 1403
'USC2' 3211
'USC3' 3203-5
'USC5' 4245
'USC6' 3262-5 AND 4248
