Xerox t 180 manual Sample JCL for transmission of system software tapes

A.Sample JCL for transmission of system software tapes

You must use a host utility program to advance the system software tape (SST) to the beginning of the next-to-last and last files. These files, which consist of 128-byte and 8192-byte blocks, must be deblocked to 128 byte records before transmission to the Xerox printing system.

The following is a sample JCL using the IEBGENER host utility to send the concatenated files to a Xerox laser printing system. In the example, 01E is the device address of the printer. For illustration purposes, the tape to be transmitted contains 421 individual system files. Appended to these 421 files is a dummy ENDFIL file, a file containing the sysgen processor program, and a concatenated file containing the preceding 423 files. The first parameter after LABEL= is the file number of the file to be transmitted (in this case, file number 424).

Table A-1.Sample JCL using the IEBGENER

//LOADXERX EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,REGION=80K

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A

SYSIN DD DUMMY

SYSUT2 DD UNIT=O1E,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=128.BLKSIZE=128)

SYSUT1 DD UNIT=TAPE,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=128,BLKSIZE=8192), DSN=XEROX,

DISP=OLD,LABEL=(424,NL,EXPDT=98000),VOL=SER=XEROXO

Note: Some host operating systems may require that an FCB and

UCSB be transmitted with the job. These are accepted but ignored.

The program (for example, IEBGENER) that transmits files to the Xerox printer does not add page numbers or reformat the data. No additional records may be added between the files.
