Output File Definition

These commands enable you to select the content and format of the output. You must code the output file definition (Write-Only mode, as the last area in the Reporting Facility program). Use the FORMAT command to specify the contents of each logical record to be created. Two basic commands direct output file definition:

SELECT

Conditionally selects a record or set of records to be included as part of the output data set

FORMAT

Defines the format of each output record to be created
