The DATFMTs in the logical file for these fields may not have actually been
specified. If the DATFMT is not specified in the logical file, it will become the
DATFMT specified on the underlying physical file Date field’s DATFMT. If the
DATFMT specified in the logical file was *JOB, it will become the actual DATFMT
of the job.
Also note: in the FORMAT column, (any) means that any of the job formats or Systems
Application Architecture (SAA) formats may be specified.
