Specifying input parameters2-42 Using LCDS Print Description LanguageCONSTANT may be enabled as the result of STRUCTUREbeing changed to U in label processing. However, nodefinition is assumed for the constant string. The default mustbe zero, or it must be defined in the job descriptor entry.• LINE DATA parameter and RECORD LENGTH parameterWhen the DATA parameter of the LINE command is changedto a value greater than the default value, the LENGTHparameter of the RECORD command must also be changedaccordingly. (Refer to the “LINE command” section of thechapter “Specifying output parameters” for additionalinformation.)• Using online JDEs in offline JDLsAn offline JDL statement set that modifies the system defaultvalues, specifically in the BLOCK or RECORD commands,may experience incorrect results if an online job (JDE) isrunning. In other words, if an online JDE is specified in anoffline JDL that has changed the system default values of theBLOCK and RECORD command parameters, the job maynot print correctly. You should separate and run online andoffline jobs (JDEs) independently of each other.RECORD command exampleThe RECORD command for the sample input record illustratedbelow would be coded as follows:The following figure shows sample values for RECORDcommand parameters.Figure 2-2. Sample RECORD commandThe following figure shows record format types.RECORD LENGTH=133, OFFSET=2, LTHFLD=2,PREAMBLE=4, ADJUST=4, FORMAT=BIN;
