You determine if the DFSMSrmm API returns line format or field format data to your application program. Line format contains fixed text and variable data that are formatted into lines. Line format is suitable for displaying at a terminal or for printing. Field format data consists only of structured field introducers and variable data.

You can request that the data be returned in line format when you specify the EDGXCI macro OUTPUT=LINES parameter. You can request that the data be returned in field format by specifying the OUTPUT=FIELDS parameter.

When you specify the EDGXCI macro OUTPUT=LINES parameter, the DFSMSrmm API returns the output lines in the same format as information returned by the DFSMSrmm RMM TSO subcommand.
