Examples of the FCB parameter

z/OS MVS JCL Reference
SA23-1385-00

Example 1
//DD1   DD  UNIT=3211,FCB=(IMG1,VERIFY)

In this example, the DD statement defines an output data set to be printed by a 3211. The FCB parameter requests that the data set be printed under control of the FCB2IMG1 member in SYS1.IMAGELIB. Because VERIFY is coded, the system displays the FCB image on the printer before printing the data set.

Example 2
//DD2   DD  SYSOUT=A,FCB=IMG2

This sysout DD statement specifies output class A. If output class A routes output to a printer having the forms control buffer feature, JES loads the FCB image IMG2 into the forms control buffer. If the printer does not have the forms control buffer feature, the operator receives a message to mount the carriage control tape IMG2 on the printer.

Example 3
//OUTDDS  DD  UNIT=3211,FCB=(6,ALIGN)

In this example, the DD statement defines an output data set to be printed by a 3211. The FCB parameter requests that the data set be printed under control of the FCB image named 6. Because ALIGN is coded, the system issues a message to the operator requesting that the alignment of the printer forms be checked before the data set is printed.

Example 4
//PUNCH   DD  UNIT=3525,FCB=DP2

In this example, the DD statement requests output on a 3525. Therefore, the FCB parameter defines the data protection image to be used for the 3525.

Example 5
//SYSUDUMP  DD  SYSOUT=A,FCB=STD3

In this example, the DD statement requests that the 3800 print a dump at 8 lines per inch.
