TRC parameter

Parameter type: Keyword, optional

Purpose: Use the TRC parameter to specify whether the logical record for each output line in the sysout data set contains table reference character (TRC) codes or not. The TRC code identifies which font-name in the CHARS parameter is to be used to print the record.

If present, a TRC code in the output line record is:
  • The first byte, if a carriage control character is not used.
  • The second byte, immediately following the carriage control character, if used.
Note: TRC is supported only for a data set processed by the Print Services Facility™ (PSF).
