TOOLMSG (SDSF SPOOL) - Verify TOOLMSG for the return code of the submitted job.

RESIZE TOOLMSG

Explaining Example -

  • INDD - Specifies the ddname for input file.
  • OUTDD - Specifies the ddname for output file.
  • TOOLIN DD * - Specifies the ICETOOL statements for DFSORT.
  • TOOLMSG - Specifies where to write the ICETOOL processing messages.
  • DFSMSG - Specifies where to write the DFSORT processing messages.
  • RESIZE FROM(INDD) TO(OUTDD1) TOLEN(49) - Resizes the input records from the length 80 to the new length 49 and writes the records to the OUTDD.
