I have a modified version of LONGPRT EXEC, a REXX exec originally written
by Duane Weaver, which is very useful for printing long length records.
It's available to anyone who requests it (I've sent a copy to Hank).
It's leading comments are:

/* LONGPRT EXEC:                                                */
/* Purpose:  Exec to print files with a long LRECL              */
/*                                                              */
/* Usage:    longprt  fn ft fn  (SIZE   nnn                     */
/*                                                              */
/*           where  'nnn'  is the line size for the printed     */
/*                   output file.  Default is 100.              */
/*           Range of values is 20 thru 132.                    */
/*                                                              */
