Relationship to the JES2 /*OUTPUT statement

JES2 ignores a JES2 /*OUTPUT statement when either of the following appears in the same job or step:

A default OUTPUT JCL statement implicitly referenced by the sysout DD statement.
An OUTPUT JCL statement explicitly referenced by the OUTPUT parameter of the sysout DD statement.

In this case, JES2 uses the third positional subparameter of the DD SYSOUT parameter as a form name, and not as a reference to a JES2 /*OUTPUT statement.
