6.2.40.6.2 Punch Function Files with the IBM 3525

>_Host_> When the punch function is used, the next I-O operation after the READ statement must be a WRITE statement for the punch function file.

If you want to punch additional data into some of the cards and not into others, a dummy WRITE statement must be issued for the null cards, first filling the output area with SPACES.

X If stacker selection for the punch function file is desired, you can
X specify the appropriate stacker function-names in the SPECIAL-NAMES
X paragraph, and then issue WRITE ADVANCING statements using the associated
X mnemonic-names. <_Host_<
