PRINT121

The PRINT121 option controls whether or not MFX is to alter its DCB values for the output message data set (SYSOUT) during JCL-initiated sorts. If you specify PRINT121, the DCB values will be changed as in the figure below.

From:

DCB=(LRECL=125,BLKSIZE=882,RECFM=VBA)

To:

DCB=(LRECL=121,BLKSIZE=121,RECFM=FA)

The default is not to specify PRINT121, and so not to alter the DCB values for the output message data set. The DCB settings cannot be changed during program-invoked sorts.
