z/OS Example - FastExport

The following procedure invokes FastExport on a mainframe‑attached z/OS client system:

//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*

Note: FastExport does not automatically block output records. If the output need to be blocked:

Specify blocked data (for example, FB) in the record format (RECFM) parameter of the data control block (DCB)

Specify the block size in the BLOCKSIZE parameter of the DCB

To enhance I/O performance (at the cost of increased storage), increase the value of the network control program (NCP) parameter on an output DCB in JCL. The maximum value for NCP is 99. The additional storage required is the NCP value multiplied by the block size of the output device.
