True enough. Or you can specify carriage control option %320 and the spooler
will suppress the CR/LF. The effect is you can string as many characters
together as needed without regard to the 1008b byte limit. Here is the exact
COBOL code I use to download a macro that is stored as 80 byte records on an
MPE system to a Laser Printer.

     CALL INTRINSIC "FWRITE" USING SIGMACRO, SIG-RECORD,
               \%50\, \%320\.
