Handling USS Files as TEXT

Unless CODE=BINARY is specified, CA XCOM Data Transport normally allocates a USS file as FILEDATA=TEXT (the JCL equivalent). There is no concept of LRECL and BLKSIZE for USS files. Input records are terminated by a new line character (x'15'). When CA XCOM Data Transport writes a USS TEXT file, it inserts new line characters at the end of each record.
