FORMAT JES3 Control Statement Is Not Supported Directly

The //*FORMAT JES3 control statement is not directly supported by CA Deliver because the parameters on the statement are kept on the JES3 spool volume and are not available to CA Deliver.

Note:

• Although CA Deliver does not use the //*FORMAT control statement, JES3 can still apply the statement to a report DD statement that is dynamically allocated.
• Any //*FORMAT statement (that is, the //*FORMAT statement contains DDNAME=) is applied; however, only those parameters not specified by CA Deliver to allocate the DD statement dynamically are used.

  It is unlikely, however, that any specific //*FORMAT statement (that is, the //*FORMAT statement contains DDNAME=ddname) is applied since the DDNAME of the dynamically allocated DD statement is generated by the operating system.
