NOEVENTS
The compiler writes the events data to the DD:SYSEVENT ddname, if you allocated one before you called the compiler. If this ddname is not allocated, the compiler will allocate one dynamically using default characteristics (LRECL=4095,RECFM=V,BLKSIZE=4099), and the name is the source file name with SYSEVENT as the lowest-level qualifier. You can control the name by specifying the file name as the suboption of the EVENTS option.
If you specified a suboption, the compiler uses the data set that you specified, and ignores the DD:SYSEVENT.
There is no set requirement on the file characteristics for the event file. If you want to allocate an event file, you should specify a record length that is large enough to contain the longest message that the compiler can emit plus approximately 40 bytes for the control information.
If the source file is a z/OS UNIX file, and you do not specify the event file name as a suboption, the compiler writes the event file in the current working directory. The event file name is the name of the source file with the extension .err.
The compiler ignores #line directives when the EVENTS option is active, and issues a warning message.
