When we print the data from the mainframe - standard way we get it in landscape format . is there any options to get it printed in portrait format?

Portrait and landscape are printer properties determined at print time and have virtually nothing to do with the mainframe. You need to consult with your systems programmers or site specialists to determine if this is possible and how to do so. Among other things, the answer would depend on whether you are printing locally or remotely, which printing package you use, the printer characteristics, how the printer is set up within the software, and so forth -- all local information a forum cannot help you with.

There may be an alternate PAGEDEF/FORMDEF you can specify in your JCL to override the printer defaults. Ask at your site.

Hi,

Are you talking about hardware print (ISPF/3.4/utilities/6) or print using some "printer software" such as AFP ?

In former case, Robert's solution will follow in later Bill's.
