COPY BOOK Support

To include a COPYBOOK from a PDS in a CA-EASYTRIEVE program when using the  EASYPLUS procedure, modify your JCL similar to the following:

//STEP1 EXEC EASYPLUS,MACRO=PDS
//* OVER-RIDE TO ADD A USER PDS TO THE EZT MACRO FACILITY
//* NOTE THE PLACE HOLDER FOR THE VENDOR PROVIDED MACRO LIBRARY
//PDSDD DD
//           DD DISP=SHR,DSN=(name  of your copy library)

In the appropriate place in your program, specify

 %membername

 

To include a COPYBOOK from a PanValet library in a CA-EASYTRIEVE program when  using the EASYPLUS procedure, modify your JCL similar to the following:

//STEP1 EXEC EASYPLUS,MACRO=PAN
//PANDD DSN=(name of your copy library),DISP=SHR

In the appropriate place in your program, specify

 %membername

 

If you execute the program EZTPA00 instead of executing the EASYPLUS proc,  you must simply supply the following steplib override:

//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=NWR.EASYPLUS.RCUR.LOADPDS

or

//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=NWR.EASYPLUS.RCUR.LOADPAN

 

Variable Length Output Records

To create variable length records using CA-Easytrieve, you must designate the output file as being variable in the file section
Move the length of the record to the system field "Filename:RECORD-LENGTH" before PUTting or WRITEing the record to the file.

 

Suppress Printing of the Easytrieve Program Code

To suppress the printing of the program listing in EASYTRIEVE, type LIST OFF  on a line by itself.
