End-of-Line character using "termstr" equivalent on Mainframe ...????

[kannand]

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.
