  Chapter 10. Customizing JCL for specific applications
  JCL customization by application types
  Applications that access DEDBs
  | If your application accesses data entry databases (DEDBs)

  | applies.
  
  Chapter 12. Interpreting the simulation output
  DL/I call trace listing
  Description of the fields
    Field            Description
  | CONTROL DATA=    The content of the control data area for the
  |                  ICAL DL/I call. This information is available
  |                  only when the AIB interface is used with a
  |                  function code of ICAL and control data.
  
  Chapter 14. Command reference
  Simulator commands
  ./O command
  ICALOLEN=
  | Specifies the length of the output data for a request area,
  | a response area or a control data area on an ICAL call.
  | Specify a 1- to 4-digit decimal number. The default is 1000
  | bytes. When a request length, response length, or control data
  | length is equal to or less than the ICALOLEN value, all of the
  | data is included in the output. When the length is longer than
  | the ICALOLEN value, the output data is truncated to the
  | ICALOLEN value. When ICALOLEN is 0, the data of the request,
  | response, and control areas is not included in the output.
