- When a sysout DD statement implicitly or explicitly references
an OUTPUT JCL statement, JES3 ignores any default JES3 //*FORMAT statements
in the job. A default //*FORMAT statement contains a DDNAME=, parameter.
- When a JES3 //*FORMAT statement contains a DDNAME parameter that
explicitly references a sysout DD statement, JES3 ignores any default
OUTPUT JCL statements in the job.
- JES3 uses the processing options from both a JES3 //*FORMAT statement
and an OUTPUT JCL statement in a job when (1) the //*FORMAT statement
DDNAME parameter names a sysout DD statement and (2) the sysout DD
statement’s OUTPUT parameter names an OUTPUT JCL statement. Two
separate sets of output are created from the data set defined by the
sysout DD statement:
- One processed according to the options on the JES3 //*FORMAT statement
combined with the sysout DD statement.
- One processed according to the options on the OUTPUT JCL statement
combined with the sysout DD statement.
For more information on the use of the OUTPUT JCL statement with
JES3, see z/OS JES3 Initialization and Tuning Guide.
