Example 1: Build a New 3800 Forms Control Buffer Module

z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities
SC23-6864-00

3800 Model 1

In this example, the vertical spacing and channel codes for an 11-inch form are specified, and the module is added to the SYS1.IMAGELIB data set as a new member.
  //FCBMOD1  JOB   ...
  //STEP1    EXEC  PGM=IEBIMAGE
  //SYSUT1   DD  DSNAME=SYS1.IMAGELIB,DISP=OLD
  //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=A
  //SYSIN    DD  *
      FCB  CH1=1,CH12=80,LPI=8
      NAME IJ
  /*
The control statements are discussed below:
  • The SYSUT1 DD statement includes DISP=OLD to ensure that no other job can modify the data set while this job is executing.
  • CH1=1 specifies channel 1 code for line 1, allowing for positioning at line 1.
  • CH12=80 specifies channel 12 code for line 80, allowing for positioning at line 80 and a unit exception indication at line 80 (the last printable line on the page.)
  • LPI=8 specifies that the entire form is to be at a vertical spacing of 8 lines per inch. Because the SIZE parameter is omitted, the form length defaults to 11 inches. Because there are 10 inches of printable space in an 11-inch form, 80 lines are printed at 8 lines per inch.
  • The name of the new FCB module is IJ; it is stored as a member of the SYS1.IMAGELIB data set.
