Table of dynamic output text units and JCL equivalents

The OUTADD macro is a dynamic version of the OUTPUT JCL statement. You can use Table 1 as a quick reference when you are coding text units. This figure defines the OUTPUT JCL keyword parameters and their equivalent dynamic output text units. For example, if you wanted the ADDRESS function, you would do the following:
  1. Locate ADDRESS in the first table column
  2. Find the corresponding key that appears in the third table column - X'0027'
  3. Code X'0027' as the first field of the text unit
  4. Code the length and value fields as defined in columns 4 - 6

When a JCL keyword parameter corresponds to more than one text unit, there is a row in the table for each corresponding text unit. The subparameters corresponding to the text unit appear in parentheses following the keyword name in column one.
