Example 4

Print the same three lines as in Example 3. This time, assume that ZLSTTRUN has a value of 5. In preparation, set up conditions to cause the value of ZLSTTRUN to be 5. This value is the lesser of:

• The logical record length of the list data set minus one (fixed format) or the record length minus five (variable format).
• The value specified for list data set line length using SETTINGS option 0.

LSTTEXT is set the same way, and the LIST request issued the same way, as for Example 3. The difference in data written to the list data set for Example 4 compared to Example 3 illustrates the truncation:

  Example 3     Example 4
1Line 1        1Line

0Line 2        0Line

0Line 3        0Line
