Hi,
what exactly is instream data ?
My understanding it was data passed via a DD * statement and hence it could only have a length of 80.

1 for 2
Yup, it is dd *, but is not limited to 80. As Kevin mentioned, the max is 254. |

Hi Dick,
if I submit a job with DD * it truncates the data to 80.
There must be a parameter somewhere that needs setting ?
Does that mean JCL can be longer than 80 ?
I created a PDS with LRECL of 254 and when trying to submit the JCL
I received the following :-
RECORD LENGTH OF DATA SET CSCSGLC.TEST.PDS NOT 80

Hi Dick,
I better make it clearer, when I use the submit command, it truncates the DD * data to 80, when in ISPF 3.4 and TYPE "E" and place a "J" next to the member I receive the message :-
RECORD LENGTH OF DATA SET CSCSGLC.TEST.PDS NOT 80

Hi Gerry,
Taxing my memory here. . .
IIRC, jcl is limited to 80, but instream data is not.

Is it possible to submit a Job using PDS in SYSIN ?
I beleive it has to be a PS rather PDS. If PDS then member name should be provided.
Am i rt ? |

Yes, a member of a pds may be used as SYSIN. Multiple concatenated members might also be used. . . |
