An external writer is a started task used to process output. Because
the external writer is a started task, it has a userid associated
with it. You process output with an external writer by naming the
writer on the DD statement (or OUTPUT JCL statement) that defines
the output as follows:
For
the writer to be able to process that output, the writer's userid
must be in an access list that permits the writer's userid to access
the SYSOUT data set. The minimum access required for external writers
is ALTER. The writer's userid is the userid specified in the started
procedure table for the writer task. Alternately, you can define external
writers with the trusted attribute in the started procedures table.
However, the trusted attribute might be contrary to your installation's
policy and allows the external writer access to data you might not
want it to process.Also, if your policy requires security labels, the security label associated with the external writer must be equal to or greater than the security label associated with the SYSOUT. |
