Good day (Buenos dia) to all!
Do you mean INITIAL='DRIVER''S LICENSE' or the field that will actually hold the driver license data? |

This was found from the APRM:
| Quote: |
INITIAL (or XINIT)
specifies constant or default data for an output field. INITIAL is used to specify data in character form; XINIT is used to specify data in hexadecimal form.
For fields with the DET attribute, initial data that begins with one of the following characters:
? > & blank
should be supplied.
The number of characters that can be specified in the INITIAL operand is restricted to the continuation limitation of the assembler to be used or to the value specified in the LENGTH operand (whichever is the smaller).
Hexadecimal data is written as an even number of hexadecimal digits, for example, XINIT=C1C2. If the number of valid characters is smaller than the field length, the data is padded on the right with blanks. For example, if LENGTH=3, XINIT=C1C2 results in an initial field of 'AB'.
If hexadecimal data is specified that corresponds with line or format control characters, the results are unpredictable. The XINIT operand should therefore be used with care. Only one of GINIT, INITIAL, or XINIT may be specified. |
Why didn´t you have a look? |
