A SYSOUT data set (z/OS) can be defined as a UDB and be the subject of &FILE ADD (or &FILE PUT) statements. The SYSOUT data set appears to your product as a VSAM ESDS.
NCL procedures can use &FILE ADD or &FILE PUT statements to write to SYSOUT UDBs. The UDB should be treated as a mapped or unmapped format file and processed using the unmapped format option.
NCL supports both ANSI and machine print control characters. However, CA recommends that you use ANSI characters because they are easier to use.
On z/OS systems, NCL determines the record format (RECFM) of a SYSOUT data set to decide if the data set is to be supported with ANSI print control characters (RECFM=A) or machine control characters (RECFM=M). When the SYSOUT data set is dynamically allocated the PRTCNTL operand can be used to specify which format is required.
