EOF
EOF specifies that unit exception status is presented after reading the last card in
the file. This option is persistent and will remain in effect until the reader is reinitia-
lized with the INTRQ option.
INTRQ
INTRQ specifies that unit check status with intervention required sense bytes is
presented after reading the last card in the file. This option is persistent and will
remain in effect until the reader is reinitialized with the EOF option.
MULTIFILE
Specifies, when multiple files are entered, to automatically open the next input file
and continue reading whenever EOF is encountered on a given file. If not specified
reading stops once EOF is reached on a given file and an attention interrupt is re-
quired to open and begin reading the next file.
EBCDIC
Specifies that the file contains fixed length 80-byte EBCDIC records with no line-
end delimiters.
ASCII
Specifies that the file contains variable length lines of ASCII characters delimited by
LF (line feed) or CRLF (carriage return line feed) sequences at the end of each line.
If neither EBCDIC nor ASCII is coded then the device handler attempts to detect
the format of the card image file when the device is first accessed. Auto-detection is
not supported for socket devices and the default is ASCII if SOCKDEV is specified.
TRUNC
With ASCII files, TRUNC defines, that lines longer than 80 characters are truncated
instead of producing a unit check error.
AUTOPAD
With EBCDIC files, AUTOPAD defines, that the file is automatically padded to a
multiple of 80 bytes if necessary.
6.5.4 Examples
Example 1:
Define a 3505 card reader device on device address 000C. The name and path of the card reader file is
"D:/JCL/DUMMY.JCL". A unit exception status has to be presented after reading the last card in the file.
000C 3505 D:/JCL/DUMMY.JCL EOF
Example 2:
Define a 1442 card reader device on device address 000C. The name and path of the card reader file is
"D:/JCL/JCL.TXT". The file contains fixed length 80-byte EBCDIC records, automatically padded to a mul-
tiple of 80 bytes if necessary. A unit check status with intervention required sense bytes has to be presen-
ted after reading the last card in the file.
