The following example shows a sample execution of HISTOGRM.

  1. SYSUT1 is the variable-length file to be scanned. Specify the DCB parameter if SYSUT1 is a non-standard label tape.
    Figure 1. Sample JCL/Control Stream for HISTOGRM

  2. SYSPRINT is the data set on which printed output will appear. The DCB (not illustrated) is: DCB=(LRECL=121,BLKSIZE=121,RECFM=F).

  3. You may use DD DUMMY instead of SYSIN DD *. Specify //SYSIN DD DUMMY,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=80).
