The
PRINT command prints the contents of both VSAM and non-VSAM data sets. It prints a complete data set or part of a data set in character format, hexadecimal format or both formats.
Parameters:
MFJAMS supports the following parameters. They are supported as documented in the IBM documentation unless otherwise stated below:
- INFILE(ddname)
- Name of the
DD statement, contained in the JCL for this job step, that provides the name of the data set that is to be printed.
- INDATASET(data-set-name)
- Name of the data set that is to be printed.
- OUTFILE(ddname)
- Name of the
DD statement for the printed output. The data set must have an LRECL value of at least 121. If you omit
OUTFILE, the
SYSPRINTDD statement is assumed.
- FROMKEY(key)
- For a VSAM KSDS data set only, the key of the first record to print. Printing starts at the record with the same primary key, or the record with the nearest higher key if an exact match does not occur. Alternate indices are not used.
- TOKEY(key)
- For a VSAM KSDS data set only, the key of the last record to print. Printing ends at the record with the same primary key, the record with the nearest higher key if an exact match does not occur, or end of file. Alternate indices are not used.
- SKIP(number)
- The number of records to skip before printing starts.
- COUNT(number)
- The number of records to print.
- CHARACTER
- Records are to be printed in character format.
MFJAMS converts EBCDIC data sets to ANSI. Unprintable characters are printed as periods.
- HEX
- Records are to be printed in hexadecimal format.
MFJAMS prints each byte in the record as a two-byte hexadecimal value.
- DUMP
- Records are to be printed as a storage dump, in both hexadecimal and character format.
MFJAMS converts EBCDIC data sets to ANSI. Unprintable characters are printed as periods.
