I know this sounds pretty crazy, but I'm wondering if anyone can clutch at straws and suggest possible source of this behaviour.

I have my FM job that I run in batch (this is for IMS, but I wouldn't think that that was relevant). Here is the relevant JCL
Code:

//SYSPRINU DD SYSOUT=*,RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133     
//*                                           
//SYSPRINT DD DSN=S1491B.VNOPI00.PRINT,       
//         DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),               
//         SPACE=(CYL,(5,1),RLSE),             
//         DCB=(RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133)           

The rest of the JCL is identical. I'm flip-flopping the SYSPRINT definitions. If I use the first one, I see the following in SYSPRINT in SDSF
Code:

IBM File Manager for z/OS IMS Component   
Ã…Ã…FILEM SET HEADERPG=NO,PAGESIZE=60       
Ã…Ã…FILEM IBB REGNTYPE=BMP,                 
Ã…Ã…FILEM     PSBTYPE=DYNAMIC,               
Ã…Ã…FILEM     DBDDSN=xxxx.IMS.DBDLIB,       
Ã…Ã…FILEM     DBDMEM=VNOPI00,               
Ã…Ã…FILEM     CRITERIA=Y,                   
Ã…Ã…FILEM     IMSID=IM1B,                   
Ã…Ã…FILEM     IMSOBA=80,                     
Ã…Ã…FILEM     IMSNBA=50,                     
Ã…Ã…FILEM     KEYEXT=N,                     
Ã…Ã…FILEM     PROC=*                         
etc etc etc
                                      DFSUACB0 MESSAGES AND CONTROL STA
         DELETE PSB=FMN0030                                           
DFS0938I DELETE PROCESSING COMPLETE FOR PSB FMN0030                   
                                                                       
DFS0590I END OF ACBLIB MAINTENANCE. HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 00000000

If I use the file as output, all I see is the following
Code:

                                      DFSUACB0 MESSAGES AND CONTROL STA
         DELETE PSB=FMN0033                                           
DFS0938I DELETE PROCESSING COMPLETE FOR PSB FMN0033                   
                                                                       
DFS0590I END OF ACBLIB MAINTENANCE. HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 00000000


The file SYSPRINT has NO error codes such as B37's or similar. I tried running the JCL with smaller amounts of output and saw that file output worked okay when SYSPRINT had 850 rows, but produced nothing when SYSPRINT had 1560 rows.

Is there a magic number somewhere in FM that limits output to, say, 1000 rows ?

misi01,

I am guessing that SYSPRINU is a typo in your JCL. Assuming that it is indeed correct I thing PRTDISP is the culprit here.

Check and add the parm PRTDISP to ensure that all the messages are appended rather than being cleared. If you have PRTDISP=OLD, then the print data set is cleared before each print operation, and print output is written from the beginning of the data set. The default for SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* is MOD which is appending the messages.

Code:

$$FILEM SET HEADERPG=NO,PAGESIZE=60,PRTDISP=MOD

The SYSPRINT/SYSPRINU wasn't a typo - it's simply so I can flip-flop between the SYSOUT=* option and the S1491B file.

Unfortunately, your PRTDISP=MOD made no difference (what was interesting to me was that I couldn't find it in the User Guide at all).

In addition, I think this option is only (?) relevant when printing via FMI.

What happens when you pre-allocate your SYSPRINT data set and refer to it with DISP=MOD in your execution?

Thought of that and tried it - no improvement. With the file, approx 216 records, with the SYSOUT option, approx 4350
