Multiple-Choice
Consider the complexity of this JCL code:



//JOB1   JOB ('12345'),'COMPLEX',NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//STEP1  EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1  DD DSN=input.file,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2  DD DSN=output.file,
//       DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
//       SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),
//       DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN  DD DUMMY



What implicit outcome does setting BLKSIZE=0 in the SYSUT2 DD statement achieve?
