Using inline microfilm setup resources

To use a microfilm setup resource inline:

1. Include an inline microfilm setup resource in the print data set, except in XML data.
2. If you specify the COMSETUP parameter in your JCL, the name of the inline microfilm setup resource must match the COMSETUP name specified in your JCL, or else you must specify COMSETUP=DUMMY in the JCL.
3. If you specify multiple inline microfilm setup resources in the print data set and you specify COMSETUP=DUMMY on the OUTPUT JCL statement, PSF uses the last inline microfilm setup resource in the print data set.
4. If you do not specify the COMSETUP parameter in your JCL, PSF selects the first inline COMSETUP in the print data set.
5. If a microfilm setup resource is included inline with the data, the data set must be identified as containing carriage control characters. If the length of the records in the microfilm setup resource is less than or equal to the logical-record length defined for the data set, you can specify fixed-length records for the record format. If the length of the records in the microfilm setup resource is greater than the logical-record length defined for the data set, you must specify variable-length records variable-blocked with ANSI carriage control characters (VBA) or variable-blocked with machine carriage control characters (VBM) for the record format.

You can include more than one inline microfilm setup resource in a print data set, and you can change the microfilm setup resource name in the JCL on different printing jobs to test different microfilm setup resources. If, however, the name of an inline microfilm setup resource does not match the COMSETUP name specified in the JCL, PSF uses the microfilm setup resource from the resource library that matches the name in the JCL.
