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 RECORD command for the sample input record illustrated below
would be coded as follows:

RECORD LENGTH=133,OFFSET=2,LTHFLD=2,
PREAMBLE=4,ADJUST=4,FORMAT=BIN;

Figure 4-2 shows sample values for RECORD command
parameters.
