CONVERT statement parameters
- DDNAME
- This mandatory parameter specifies the DD name of a file to which the converted report is to be written. A corresponding DD statement must be included in the JCL. When requesting a PDF, the file must be sequential, in FB format with 80 byte records. When requesting an XML document, the file must be sequential, in FB or VB format with 255 byte records.
- FORMAT
- This mandatory parameter specifies the format to which the report is to be converted. It must specify PDF or XML.
- LANG
- The LANG keyword parameter is optional. If omitted it defaults to ENU to indicate the reports are to be created in the English language. Other acceptable values for PDF files are JPN for Japanese and KOR for Korean. ENU is the only acceptable value for XML documents.
- MLD
- The MLD keyword parameter is optional, if omitted it defaults to Y. This specifies whether or not multi-line descriptions should be printed (Y=Yes, N=No). This is similar to the PREF option in Application Performance Analyzer ISPF: “Show long descriptions on multiple lines,” and when generating JCL with Application Performance Analyzer ISPF, the PREF setting will be used to set MLD.
