How can multiple ACF2 rules be compiled from a single sequential file rather than a PDS?
Release : 16.0
Component : ACF2 for z/OS
The ACFBATCH utility can be used to compile multiple rules from a single FB(fixed block) or VB(variable blocked) sequential file. VBA is not supported. Each rule would need to be preceded by a 'COMP * STORE' followed by a blank line after the last rule entry. For example:
//ACFBATCH EXEC PGM=ACFBATCH
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FB.SEQ.FILE
EDIT FB.SEQ.FILE Columns 00001 00072
