I use the following code to generate a file that I will FTP to z/OS.

 

 PROC PRINTTO PRINT=MVTJSTEP NEW;
 options linesize=124 nodate;

 PROC REPORT DATA=MVTJSTEP nowd noheader;
      options nodate nonumber pagesize=max;
      title; footnote;
      col MVTJSTEP_REC;

 

The file has over 32767 records.  Althought I have 'pagesize=max; specified, I am still getting page breaks.  These page breaks end up adding an addtional character in column 1.  Therefore when I transmit this file to MVS into a file that is of that right size, these records will be truncated on the right side.   Is there a way within SAS to remove this page break?

Hi:
My mainframe days are long over, but I seem to remember a FORMDLIM or FORMDLM option?
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lesysoptsref/68023/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0vr78nr6afox...

I also remember something about NOCC or No Carriage Control, but I only found that for FSLIST:

And, this is older http://support.sas.com/techsup/notes/v8/11/084.html
so I'm not sure it is relevant. You might want to check with Tech Support.

Cynthia,

Thanks for the suggestions but they don't appear to a resolution.  I may need to somehow run another process to strip the this page break off.

Is your Proc Report output actually doing any statistics or break summaries?

If not then don't use Proc Printto. Use an old fashioned data _null_ step with a FILE statement for the destination and put statements.
