TSO execution parameters
When PARM=TSO is coded on the EXEC JCL statement, all print output generated by the LIST, DUMP, and PRINT functions is formatted as if File-AID is writing to a terminal under TSO. The following processing modifications are activated:
- SYSPRINT heading information is shortened to one line. Only the File-AID/Batch release number and date are shown.
- No page headings or page breaks are generated for print output. Printed PDS members are identified with a special member identification line preceding each member printed as follows:
***********MEMBER memname **************
- Print output is reformatted to fit an 80 character print line. DUMP, LIST, and PRINT output is presented 50 characters per line instead of the usual 100 characters per line. Exception: LIST output for a data set with an LRECL of 80 or less is left justified to show up to 80 characters per line.
- The FORM=SHORT parameter turns off the default column scale print lines normally shown on each record with the PRINT and DUMP functions. Instead, File-AID prints the column scale print line as header at the top of each page.
- If no SYSLIST DD is present, SYSLIST is not dynamically allocated, and SYSLIST output is directed to SYSPRINT.
- IX_DCB_attributes_SYSPRINT_1
- No printer control characters are written to SYSLIST, SYSPRINT, or SYSTOTAL.
- If SYSPRINT, SYSLIST, or SYSTOTAL is assigned to a file instead of to SYSOUT, DCB attributes of the file are modified as follows:
DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=b)
where b is calculated as a multiple of 80 closest to the original BLKSIZE.
