PARMDD
Defines the DDname for the file containing the ACIF processing
parameters. If PARMDD is not specified, ACIF uses SYSIN as the default
DDname and terminates processing if SYSIN is not defined.
MSGDD
Defines the DDname type for the message file. When ACIF processes a
print file, it can issue a variety of informational or error messages. If
MSGDD is not specified as an invocation parameter, ACIF uses SYSPRINT
as the default DDname and terminates processing if SYSPRINT is not
defined. MSGDD requires a LRECL of 137 and a block size that is a
multiple of 137 plus 4 (for example, (137*10)+4 =1374).
ACIF requires about 3MB of virtual memory to convert and index files. The
amount of memory can vary, depending on the complexity of the input data and
the conversion and indexing options requested.

application.
