Structured field introducers for output data for subcommands

When you specify OUTPUT=LINES, the DFSMSrmm API returns output data, except for system return and reason codes, as formatted lines in structured fields. The structured fields are introduced by the <LINE> and <MSGL> structured field introducers as shown in Figure 1. DFSMSrmm places system return codes and reason codes in your output buffer as described in System return and reason code structured field introducers.

Figure 1. Formatted lines

<Begin resource group>
  <LINE - Formatted output line   : nn , character:      >
  <LINE - Formatted output line   : nn , character:      >
  <MSGL - Formatted output message: nn , character:      >
  <MSGL - Formatted output message: nn , character:      >
<End resource group>

When you specify OUTPUT=FIELDS, the DFSMSrmm API returns output data as unformatted data in structured fields.
