Caveat: <insert daily digest delay time here> I don't have the original message(s) handy but I do note the following in the v1.12 utilities manual under SYSUT1 for IEBGENER: "... In all other cases, a default logical record length of 80 is used."
<quote> SYSUT1 DD Statement The input data set for IEBGENER, as specified in SYSUT1, can contain fixed, variable, undefined, or variable spanned records. ... The input logical record length must be specified when the record format is fixed blocked, variable spanned, or variable blocked spanned, or when the data set is new, or a dummy data set. If the input and output logical record length are not available and the record format is V or VB, IEBGENER sets the maximum record length to the block size -4, with a maximum of 32 760. In all other cases, a default logical record length of 80 is used. </quote> --------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------- Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee “How *do* you plan for something like that?” Guardian Bob, Reboot “For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.” “Systems Programming: Guilty, until proven innocent” John Norgauer 2004 -----Original Message----- From: Paul Gilmartin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: June 23, 2014 18:48 Subject: Re: IEB319I INVALID SYSPRINT/SYSIN BLOCKSIZE On Mon, 23 Jun 2014 17:10:29 -0500, Mike Schwab wrote: >Try //ddname DD *,RECFM=VB,LRECL=259,BLKSIZE=0 > Hmmm... http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v2r1/topic/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.ieab600/iea3b6_Relationship_to_other_parameters.htm Relationship to other parameters z/OS MVS JCL Reference SA23-1385-00 You can specify the following DD parameters with the DD * and DD DATA parameters.
