SYSIN DD statement

The SYSIN DD statement defines an optional control data set.

DAPUSMF1 SYSIN DD statement syntax

//SYSIN DD *

The following table shows the valid DCB parameters that can be specified.

If you do not specify any or all of the DCB parameters and the data set label has no DCB parameters, DAPUSMF1 chooses RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, and a block size. When the output device is DASD or a standard labeled tape, the system determines the block size to be used.

Description

DSORG=PS | PO

The data set organization of the input can be physical sequential (PS) or the member of a partitioned data set (PO).

RECFM=[F | FB | V | VB]

The record format of the data set can be fixed (F), fixed block (FB), variable (V), or variable blocked (VB). The default value is FB if none is specified.

LRECL=[nnn]

The minimum logical record size of the data set is 80 for fixed length or 84 for variable length. The maximum size is 256. The default value is 80.

BLKSIZE=[nnnnn]

If you are using fixed block records, the block size can be any multiple of the logical record length. If you are using variable or variable blocked records, the block must be a minimum of the logical record length plus four. The block size cannot exceed 32760 bytes.
