How to generate ASCII (or ASA) carriage control for COBOL print files?

Troubleshooting


Problem

Enterprise COBOL for z/OS inserts a character into column 1 of each record. 1 = page eject 0 = double space - = triple space + = overstrike How is this done using COBOL for AIX?

Symptom

Lack of ASA bytes in column 1 of each record. Instead, multiple blank lines are inserted to achieve vertical spacing. Each record of an ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL file ends with hex 0A.
