Issue/Introduction

The user was using CCREATE in ADLIST, to create /PRINT control cards. They needed to exceed the 60-character control card length maximum, and were wondering as to how that could be accomplished.

Environment

• View®
• OM View for z
• Output Management View® for z/OS

Resolution

To accommodate more characters, that they could:

1.  Make their own program changes to SARSAM8 (source for ADLIST). 
2.  Shorten their "DDNAME=RPT" field, in the CCREATE card, to "DDNAME=RP" (to gain 1 character) or to "DDNAME=R" (to gain 2 characters). 

If shortening the DDNAME field, it is necessary to modify the DDnames in affected JCL, to reference the shorter name.
