-fileout:xxxx      -> output file

Examples :

1) on ebcdic file from a MVS where 133 is the spool file width
      mapasa2txt -ebcdic_from_mvs -length:133
2) on ebcdic file where the first bytes contain an overlay
      mapasa2txt -skip:2748 -ebcdic_from_mvs -length:133
3) on ascii file where width is fixed
      mapasa2txt -length:133
4) on ascii file where width is controled by 0A,0D
      mapasa2txt -ascii_from_mvs
5) on ascii file where width is controled by 0A,0D with asa channel 2 on line 10
      mapasa2txt -ascii_from_mvs -channel2:10
