Hello -
I came across this article that shows that "termstr" option can be used for delimited files from Unix to Windows, vice-versa...
I am just curious, is there an equivalent of this option in the mainframe environment ? Is it possible to define the EOL character in an INFILE statement on the mainframe ?
Thanks in advance...
What does the documentation tell you?
Kannand only when you are running a mainfrem in Unix mode the Unix rules apply. In the OLD MVS z/OS world it is completely different and nothing like Windos Unix exist. FB VB VSAM have well defined records and do not use a character indicator (termstr) for that. Ebcdic/Ascii code pages adding more comlexity to translations as some might think.
I failed to provide the link to the article I referred in my post earlier. ..here you go. ..

If you co not believe me ... this manual should be in your head. The USS (HFS type is a UNIX way) and the normal classic datasets. FILENAME Statement: z/OS , SAS(R) 9.4 Companion for z/OS, Fifth Edition
Thanks for the url. I'll read thru.
I appreciate you looking into this.
