Re: JCL(?) question

     Whoa! OCL! I haven't had to decipher OCL replacement parms in a 
     LONG time.... If memory serves, ?F'A,xyintrap'? is supposed to 
     return the ACTUAL number of records in file XYINTRAP, which should 
     be found in QS36F, the default library for S36e data.

Hi...

Firstly, bear with my terminology as my experience is mostly with
mainframes, and I've received no training on the AS/400.

We've got the old B10 here, and we had problems with a batch job that was
part of our month end.  I've found the proc/JCL that ran this job and there
is a parameter that I can't resolve, nor can I find reference to this in any
of the manuals here.  The line is:

// FILE NAME-OUTPUT,LABEL-XYADROUT,RETAIN-J,RECORDS-?F'A,XYINTRAP'?

The records parameter was interpreted as 00000000 when this job ran.  Is
this some kind of function call to see the size of the input file(which was
XYINTRAP)?

What manual would this be in?  I've got a Control Language Programmer's
Guide here but can't find this type of statement.  I didn't find any of the
actually, nor can I find an explanation for // LOAD, or // RUN, which seem
obvious, but I'd really like to find the right manual.

All help greatly appreciated....

Stephanie
