PRINTkeys (that is, a portion of the key followed by *). If you specify generickeys, listing begins at the first record with a key matching that portion ofthe key you specified.You cannot specify a key longer than that defined for the data set. If youdo, the listing is not done. If the specified key is not found, the next higherkey is used as the starting point for the listing.FROMKEY can be specified only when an alternate index, a key-sequencedVSAM data set, a catalog, or an indexed sequential (ISAM) non-VSAMdata set is being printed.keycan contain 1 to 255 EBCDIC characters. A key ending in X'5C' isprocessed as a generic key.Abbreviation: FKEYFROMADDRESS(address)specifies the relative byte address (RBA) of the first record you wantprinted. The RBA value must be the beginning of a logical record. If youspecify this parameter for a key-sequenced data set, the listing is inphysical sequential order instead of in logical sequential order.FROMADDRESS can be specified only for VSAM key-sequenced, linear, orentry-sequenced data sets or components. FROMADDRESS cannot bespecified when the data set is accessed through a path or for akey-sequenced data set with spanned records if any of those spannedrecords are to be accessed.addressCan be specified in decimal (n) or hexadecimal (X'n'). The specificationcannot be longer than one fullword when specified in decimal.The largest address you can specify in decimal is 4,294,967,295. If ahigher value is required, specify it in hexadecimal.Abbreviation: FADDRFROMNUMBER(number)specifies the relative record number of the first record you want printed.FROMNUMBER can only be specified for VSAM relative record data sets.numberCan be specified in decimal (n), hexadecimal (X'n'), or binary (B'n').The specification cannot be longer than one fullword.The largest address you can specify in decimal is 4,294,967,295. If ahigher value is required, specify it in hexadecimal.Abbreviation: FNUMSKIP(number)specifies the number of logical records you want to skip before the listingof records begins. For example, if you want the listing to begin with recordnumber 500, you specify SKIP(499). SKIP should not be specified when youare accessing the data set through a path; the results are unpredictable.INSERTSHIFT((offset1 offset2)[(offset1 offset2)...])|INSERTALLIf DBCS is specified without INSERTSHIFT nor INSERTALL, the logical recordis assumed to already contain SO and SI characters. PRINT will check duringprinting to ensure that the DBCS data meets DBCS criteria.Chapter 29. PRINT 297
