Example 6: Print Three Record Groups

z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities
SC23-6864-00

In this example, three record groups are printed. A user routine is provided to manipulate output records before they are printed.
  //PRINT    JOB  ...
  //STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBPTPCH
  //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=A
  //SYSUT1   DD  DSNAME=SEQDS,UNIT=disk,DISP=(OLD,KEEP),
  //             LABEL=(,SUL),VOLUME=SER=111112
  //SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=A
  //SYSIN    DD  *
         PRINT   MAXFLDS=9,MAXGPS=9,MAXLITS=23,STOPAFT=32767
         TITLE   ITEM=('TIMECONV-DEPT D06'),
                 ITEM=('JAN10-17',80)
         EXITS   OUTREC=NEWTIME,INHDR=HDRS,INTLR=TLRS
         RECORD  IDENT=(6,'498414',1),
                 FIELD=(8,1,,10),FIELD=(30,9,XE,20)
         RECORD  IDENT=(2,'**',39),
                 FIELD=(8,1,,10),FIELD=(30,9,XE,20)
         RECORD  IDENT=(6,'498414',1),
                 FIELD=(8,1,,10),FIELD=(30,9,XE,20)
         LABELS  CONV=XE,DATA=ALL
  /*

The control statements are as follows:

  • SYSUT1 DD defines the input data set, called SEQDS. The data set resides on a disk volume.
  • SYSUT2 DD defines the output data set on the system output device (printer assumed).
  • SYSIN DD defines the control data set, which follows in the input stream.
  • The PRINT statement:
    1. Initializes the print operation.
    2. Indicates that not more than nine FIELD parameters are included in subsequent RECORD statements (MAXFLDS=9).
    3. Indicates that not more than nine IDENT parameters are included in subsequent RECORD statements (MAXGPS=9).
    4. Indicates that not more than 23 literal characters are included in subsequent IDENT parameters (MAXLITS=23).
    5. Indicates that processing is ended after 32767 records are processed or after the third record group is processed, whichever comes first. Because MAXLINE is omitted, 60 lines are printed on each page.
  • TITLE specifies two titles, to be printed on one line. The titles are not converted to hexadecimal.
  • EXITS specifies the name of a user routine (NEWTIME), which is used to manipulate output records before they are printed.
  • The first RECORD statement defines the first record group to be processed and indicates where information from the input records is placed in the output records. Positions 1 through 8 of the input records appear in positions 10 through 17 of the printed output, and positions 9 through 38 are printed in hexadecimal representation and placed in positions 20 through 79.
  • The second RECORD statement defines the second group to be processed. The parameter in the IDENT operand specifies that an input record last record edited according to the FIELD operand in this RECORD statement. The FIELD operand specifies that positions 1 through 8 of the input records are placed in positions 10 through 17 of the printed output, and positions 9 through 38 are printed in hexadecimal representation and appear in positions 20 through 79.
  • The third and last RECORD statement is equal to the first RECORD statement. An input record that meets the parameter in the IDENT operand ends processing, unless the STOPAFT parameter in the PRINT statement has not already done so.
  • LABELS specifies that all user header or trailer labels are to be printed regardless of any return code, except 16, issued by the user's exit routine. It also indicates that the labels are converted from alphanumeric to hexadecimal representation (CONV=XE).
