In this example, a sequential data set is printed according to user specifications.

  //PTNONSTD JOB  ...
  //STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBPTPCH
  //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=A
  //SYSUT1   DD  DSNAME=SEQSET,UNIT=tape,LABEL=(2,SUL),
  //             DISP=(OLD,KEEP),VOLUME=SER=001234
  //SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=A
  //SYSIN    DD  *
         PRINT   MAXFLDS=1
         EXITS   INHDR=HDRIN,INTLR=TRLIN
         RECORD  FIELD=(80)
         LABELS  DATA=YES
  /*

The control statements are as follows:

• SYSUT1 DD defines the input data set, SEQSET, which is the second data set on a tape volume.
• SYSUT2 DD defines the output data set on the system output device (printer assumed). Each printed line contains 80 contiguous characters (one record) of information.
• SYSIN DD defines the control data set, which follows in the input stream.
• PRINT begins the print operation and indicates that one FIELD parameter is included in a subsequent RECORD statement (MAXFLDS=1).
• EXITS indicates that exits will be taken to user header label and trailer label processing routines when these labels are encountered on the SYSUT1 data set.
• RECORD indicates that each input record is processed in its entirety (80 bytes). Each input record is printed in columns 1 through 80 on the printer.
• LABELS specifies that user header and trailer labels are printed according to the return code issued by the user exits.
