If you want normal 2D, check out the BARCODE keyword and PDF417 or MaxiCode options on that keyword.

You really need to be on a later release; if you're on V5R4 or earlier, you can do it, but it requires more work and has more restrictions. On V7R2 it is pretty complete support, on v7.1 it has most of what you'll need.

6.1 BARCODE() does support PDF417. Here's an example I found:

A       R  #PDF417B
A          EDI#P        512A       BARCODE(PDF417 *VRT +
A                                  X'00' (*WIDTH 0.010) +
A                                  (*PDF417 12 *MIN 5))
A                                  POSITION(0.475 4.031)

Seems like your requirements are more about the content than the barcode presentation.

The RS and GS in the data area probably ASCII Record Separator and Group Separator, x'1E' and x'1D'. I think these correspond to EBCDIC IRS and IGS, also x'1E' and x'1D', but you may need to confirm that they actually translate that way in your translate table.
