Specifying input parameters

Default

VOLUME HOST parameter: points to note

Offline printing: IBMOS

Online printing: No default

For HOST=DUMP, two tape marks at the end of the tape are required to dump the data tape using DUMP.JSL.

If a selected HOST type is inconsistent with a selected LABEL type, the PDL issues an error message and automatically substitutes a valid label. Do not code the LABEL parameter of the VOLUME command in cases where it is not appropriate for a particular HOST type. Refer to the “Offline specifications” appendix for format information.

If an online job (JDE) is called out in an offline JDL that changes the system default values, the job may print incorrectly. If this happens, separate and run online and offline jobs independently of each other.

The following defaults are automatically selected when VOLUME HOST=IBMONL is specified:

RECORD LENGTH = 150;

LINE

PCCTYPE = IBM3211, DATA = (0,150);
