Group,
I think this is it:
NOCC means to not interpret the first character of an input record as carriage
control; it does not mean to write SPOOL records without carriage control.
We are storing PDFs on the MVS spool. When being read through some software
there is an extra space being presented on the left of each record.
I did an XMIT and saw the same results when viewing the spool. That format
should have been like "netdata" that's independent of the source DCB stuff.
I remember the VM punch queue was limited to 80 bytes and didn't write out
carriage control because you could IPL it. I imagine MVS also has these other
spool "types". I don't think the 80 byte record length will meet our "wants".
So, I guess I'd being going against the grain to look at 'removing' that
pesky x'40' from the 133 byte spool records creating 132 byte spool records.
Thanks again, Dave

It says that it generates carriage control:
NOCC
does not interpret the first character of each record as a carriage control
character. In this case, the PRINT command ejects a new page and prints a
heading after the number of lines specified by LINECOUN are printed.

No. NOCC means to not interpret the first character of an input record as
carriage control; it does not mean to write SPOOL records without carriage
control.
