RE: [MI400] Compressing a savf file

["Harry Williams" <planesmart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Leif,
I see why I cannot find it. That was the line that did not print from the
lazer printer.  It skipped that line.

To the others, the was Leif shows to use the builtin function on the 400 or
iseries or eseries, appears to be very easy. You just need to let the
printer print out all the lines.

Thanks

at the end of the UFCB you'll find (at times several) parameters.
One is the record size:
DCL DD IFCB-RECORD-ID      BIN(2) DEF(IFCB) POS(209) INIT(1);
DCL DD IFCB-RECORD-LENGTH BIN(2) DEF(IFCB) POS(211) INIT(132);
DCL DD IFCB-NO-MORE-PARMS BIN(2) DEF(IFCB) POS(213) INIT(32767);

Change the "132" above to "528", and remember to change the
INBUF CHAR(132) to CHAR(528) as well.
