All SYSOUT data sets are forwarded through VSE/POWER transparently. A maximum length of spanned record as defined in the architecture is supported. No sections are added to the record by VSE/POWER, although the user may add a user section.

Spanned Records with Carriage Control: VSE/POWER supports spanned records with carriage control, both as intermediate node and as destination node.

Trailing Blank Truncation: Trailing blanks are truncated from all data, both on spool data and on transmission. However, the original record length is retained. The blank truncation can be suppressed and all blanks are written to the spool file and transmitted by using a BTRNC operand.

Print File Transparency: VSE/POWER Version 2.1 converts all ASA carriage control to machine carriage control.
