Synopsis

HELP:   Record delimiter for decompressed files
TYPE:   STRING
SYNTAX: OUTRECDELIM/ORECDEL/ORECD/ORECDELIM/OUTDELIM/ORDELIM='bin-hex'

Description

Record delimiter for original output file.

See also parameters RECDELIM and OUTRECDELIM.

Syntax restrictions for FLAMv4 or older:

• z/OS
  • ORECDEL=String
  • ORECD=String
    • Note: Not evaluated by FLAM under z/OS.
• UNIX
  • -outrecdelim=record delimiter
• WINDOWS
  • outrecdelim=record delimiter
  • outrecd=record delimiter

Values

• z/OS
  • String of up to 4 characters.
• UNIX
  • Hexadecimal characters between 01 and FF, with a length of either 1 or 2 bytes.
    • Note: This parameter specifies the record delimiter for a decompressed file with the stream record format. If a record delimiter is not specified for the stream record format, 0x0A is used as a default delimiter. If outrecdelim=0D0A is specified, the decompressed file can be generated in MSDOS format. Any other character combinations are also allowed as record delimiters.
• WINDOWS
  • Hexadecimal characters between 01 and FF, length: 1 or 2 bytes (2 or 4 hex characters).
    • NOTE: With this parameter the end-of-record character of the decompressed file is specified with record format text (see also parameter RECFORMAT). When using record format text without specifying the end-of-record character, 0D0A (CRLF) is written as the end-of-record character. With the specification outrecdelim=0A it is possible to generate the decompressed file in UNIX format. Beyond that every other combination of characters is allowed as end-of-record characters.
