Hi Chris,
If you write your IDCAMS output to a temp dataset and pass it to the next step, you can use your favorite utility/program to remove the channel 1 from column 1 of your output. Optionally, you could remove all of the carriage control or edit it as you wish, even change the location of the channel 1 to suit what ever form you want to use. What kind of printer are you wanting/needing to use? If you have a printer that supports AFP, then pagedef and formdef A18C ( and there are other resources in the AFP starter set ) will give you 8.5 x 11, duplex, por trait, offset graybar. Without the channel 1s to force page eject, the output will fill the page. I f you use a line printer, you will get the number of lines defined in JES parms, which is generally a full page with a bottom margin. If you are using VPS, the VPS member for the printer can be set to use a PostScript or PCL page presentation, or if using line print, you can set the font and the number of lines per page that will fit using your chosen font. You have a lot of options. I am curious - why print? Perhaps using XDC from SDSF and writing the output to a dataset would save all of the paper :) and the resulting dataset (or PDS member) could easily be viewed in ISPF.

It appears to be set to something like 52. On occasion we need to print off rather large LISTCAT listings. In the interest of saving paper, being able to fill up the page would be useful. I serached the archive but didn't find too many hits. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
