Parameters

TRUE
Indicates that a write to tape of ASCII data in Stream mode is allowed to use the BSAM I/O routine instead of the Language Environment Run-Time Library fwrite() function. This allows the data set to be processed without embedded hexadecimal values being interpreted as print control characters.
FALSE
Indicates that a write to tape of ASCII data in Stream mode must use the Language Environment Run-Time Library fwrite() function. This is the default and is used to take advantage of the features of the Language Environment Run-Time Library.

Examples
