Use this function to print the contents of an object in character
format or one of the two dump formats.
Options
You can select the range of bytes or records to print.
You
can use the various SET processing options to control the print output:
SET PRINTOUT defines the destination of the print output. If set
to PRINTOUT=SYSOUT, you can use the PB (Print Browse) function to
browse the accumulated output.
SET RECLIMIT controls how many bytes of each record are printed.
The format of the print output also depends on the settings of
SET PAGESIZE, SET PRINTLEN, and SET PRTTRANS.
Use SET DUMP to specify the dump format.

against printing an OAM object that is much larger than expected. The maximum number is 99 999 999. If you specify ALL or you
omit the parameter, the entire object is printed.

TSO prefix (normally the user ID) is used as the high-level qualifier
for any name that is not entered in quotation marks.
