Online versus offline JDLs

An offline JDL statement set that modifies the system default values,
specifically in the BLOCK or RECORD commands, may experience
incorrect results if running an online job (JDE). In other words, if an
online job (JDE) is called out in an offline JDL that has changed the
system default values (of the BLOCK and RECORD command
parameters), the job may not print correctly. It is best then to separate
and run online and offline jobs (JDEs) independently from each
other.

Example

The BLOCK command for the example below would be coded as
follows:

BLOCK LENGTH=351,OFFSET=2,ADJUST=0,
LTHFLD=2, PREAMBLE=8,FORMAT=BIN;

Figure 4-1 shows sample values for BLOCK command parameters.
