1.The LMPUT service writes one logical record to the data set associated with a given data ID.
2.The first LMPUT writes the first logical record to the data set, and later invocations write succeeding records.
3.The LMINIT service with ENQ(EXCLU), ENQ(SHRW), ENQ(MOD), and the LMOPEN service with the OUTPUT option must be completed before you can use the LMPUT service.
4.In INVAR mode and MULTX mode, the data-location parameter variable contains the data itself.
In MOVE mode, the data-location parameter contains the address of the data to be written.

>>-ISPEXEC--LMPUT--DATAID(data-id)--MODE(-+-INVAR-+-)----------->
+-MOVE--+
'-MULTX-'

>--DATALOC(dataloc-var)--DATALEN(data-length)--+---------+-----><
