Using class to suppress output in a JES2 system

To suppress the printing or punching of a sysout data set in a JES2 system, code one of the following:

   //ddname  DD  SYSOUT=class

   //name    OUTPUT CLASS=class
   //ddname  DD     SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=*.name

   //name    OUTPUT DEFAULT=YES,CLASS=class
   //ddname  DD     SYSOUT=(,)

During JES2 initialization, the installation must specify that the requested class contains data sets that are deleted before being printed or punched.

Use of output suppression

Use this technique to suppress the output of started tasks.

Examples

//DD2  DD  SYSOUT=S

//OT1  OUTPUT CLASS=S
//DD3  DD     SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=*.OT1

//OT2  OUTPUT DEFAULT=YES,CLASS=S
//DD4  DD     SYSOUT=(,)

In all these examples, the installation defined class S as an output suppression class.
