      **                                                        
     A                                      DSPSIZ(*DS3 *DS4)   
     A                                      PRINT               
      *                                                         
      * USER DEFINED FORMAT                                     
     A          R DIJ005R1                  USRDFN              
      *                                                         
      * INSERT DUMMY FORMAT SO BUFFER SIZE WILL BE CORRECT      
     A          R DIJ005R2                                      
     A            FILLER1     1783   B  1  2                    
     A            FILLER2     1783   B  1  2
