JCL DD Statement for a Target Data Set

z/OS DFSMS Access Method Services Commands
SC23-6846-01

The usual target data set for listing is SYSPRINT. The default parameters of this data set are:
  • Record format: variable blocked (VBA)
  • Logical record length: 125, that is, (121+4)
  • Block size: 0

Print lines are 121 bytes long. The first byte is the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) control character. The minimum LRECL is 121 (U-format records only). If a smaller size is used, it is overridden to 121.

You can alter the defaults by placing other values in the DCB parameter of the SYSPRINT statement. You cannot, however, use a record format of F or fixed block (FB); those are changed to VBA.
