Input and Output

z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities
SC23-6864-00

IEBIMAGE uses the following input:
  • A control data set that contains utility control statements
  • Source statements produced by the Character Conversion Aid
IEBIMAGE produces the following output:
  • A new module or modules for use with the 3800 Model 1 and Model 3 printers, 3262 Model 5 printer, or the 4248 printer, to be stored in an image library. These may be of one of the following types:
    • Forms control buffer modules (3800 or 4248)
    • Copy modification modules (3800 only)
    • Character arrangement table modules (3800 only)
    • Graphic character modification modules (3800 only)
    • Library character set modules (3800 only)

    Note that, in building a 4248 FCB module, either a 4248 (prefix FCB4) or a 3211 (prefix FCB2) format FCB may be used as input. IEBIMAGE prefixes the name with FCB4 first; then, if no module exists with that name, the prefix is changed to FCB2. However, you cannot use IEBIMAGE to create an FCB2 module as output.

  • An output data set listing for each new module, which includes:
    • Module identification
    • Utility control statements used in the job
    • Module contents
    • Messages and return codes
