Specifying carriage control and table reference characters in line data

Traditional line data can contain CC characters, TRCs, both, or neither. You can use either of two types of CC characters: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or machine code. To indicate that the records contain CC characters, and to indicate which type is being used, specify A or M in the DCB=RECFM subparameter.

To indicate that TRCs are contained in the records, specify TRC=YES in the OUTPUT JCL statement (see TRC) or DCB=OPTCD=J in the DD statement.
