Concatenating Files
To view the document file on a workstation using Viewer, you must concatenate the
index object file and the resource file to the document file.
OS/390 or MVS JCL
The following is an example of OS/390 or MVS JCL you can use to perform the
concatenation:
//PRINT EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=ᑍ
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=APKACIF.INDEX,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=APKACIF.RESLIB,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=APKACIF.OUTPUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=NEW.PRINT.OBJECT,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(3276,nnn),
// DCB=(LRECL=32756,BLKSIZE=3276,RECFM=VBM)
Where
nnn
is equal to the size of the index object file, plus the size of the resource
file, plus the size of the document file.
Note: The resource file must have been created by specifying RESFILE= SEQ.
VM CMS Commands
The following is an example of the VM CMS commands you can use to perform the
concatenation:
COPY APKACIF INDEX A APKACIF RESLIB A APKACIF OUTPUT A APKACIF LIST382 A (APPEND
