My existing jcl generates the report(a sequential file) in VBA format.
In the jcl step it was mentioned DCB as RECFM = VBA.
I need to send reports in VBM format.
i changed it to RECFM=VBM and run the jcl. still the report(PS file) is in VBA format.
can anyone suggest a solution for this problem?
can anyone clearly mention what is VBA and VBM in detail.
Thanks!! |

Hello,
The format is usually determined by the "write" in the program.
What is the "next" process that requires one format over the other? Either should print properly. |

| What is the requirement for the change, modern printers cope equally well with either format. |

The M/A in the recfm specifieas whether "machine" or "ISO/ANSI" print cntl chars were used to create the report.
The WRITE method can determine what cntl chars were used:
If the ADVANCING option was used, "ISO/ANSI" cc's precede (in pos 1) each printed line produced.
If not, either type of cc's can be placed in pos 1 of each line before the WRITE.
I used to have a list of the machine CC's somewhere. If you need them I'll see if I can find them. |
