RecordOrientedDatasetReaderPattern

The RecordOrientedDatasetReaderPattern pattern is used to read data from a z/OS data set.

Support classes

• ZFileStreamOrientedTextReader: Reads text data

• ZFileStreamOrientedByteReader: Reads byte data

• ZFileRecordOrientedDataReader: Reads sequential data

Required properties

The following properties are required for the pattern.

properties. The table includes the name and value of

Property name	Value	Description
PATTERN_IMPL_CLASS	Java class name	Class that implements the RecordOrientedDatasetReaderPattern interface
DSNAME	Dataset name	For example, USER216.BATCH.RECORD.OUTPUT

Optional properties

The following properties are optional for the pattern.

properties. The table includes the name, value, and description

Property name	Value	Description
ds_parameters	Parameters used to open the data set.	Default for ZFileRecordOrientedDataReader is rb,recfm=fb,type=record,lrecl=80 and Default for ZFileStreamOrientedByteReader and ZFileStreamOrientedTextReader is rt
debug	true or false (default is false)	Enables detailed tracing on this batch datastream.
EnablePerformanceMeasurement	true or false (default is false)	Calculates the total time spent in the batch data-streams and the processRecord method, if you are using the GenericXDBatchStep.
EnableDetailedPerformanceMeasurement	true or false (default is false)	Provides a more detailed breakdown of time spent in each method of the batch data-streams.
file.encoding	Encoding of the file.	For example, 8859_1.

Interface definition

  * This method is invoked during the job setup phase.
  * The properties are the ones specified in the xJCL.
  * @param props

   /**
  * This method should read the next record from the Zfile
