Examples of the GROUPID parameter

Example 1

//EXMP5  JOB     ACCT1984,MAEBIRD,MSGCLASS=A
//OUTRPT OUTPUT  GROUPID=RPTGP,DEFAULT=YES,DEST=TDC
//STEP1  EXEC    PGM=RPTWRIT
//SYSIN  DD      *
         .
         .
         .
/*
//RPTDLY DD      SYSOUT=C
//RPTWK  DD      SYSOUT=C

In this example, the DD statements RPTDLY and RPTWK implicitly reference the default OUTPUT JCL statement OUTRPT. JES2 creates two output groups:

1. Group RPTGP is created because of the GROUPID parameter in the OUTPUT JCL statement. It contains the two reports from the sysout DD statements RPTDLY and RPTWK and is printed at the destination TDC. The programmer named this group RPTGP.
2. The other group is named by JES2. It contains the system-managed data set for the job’s messages.

Example 2

//EXAMP    JOB     MSGCLASS=A
//JOBOUT   OUTPUT  GROUPID=SUMM,DEST=HQS,CHARS=GT10
//STEP1    EXEC    PGM=RWRITE
//OUT1     OUTPUT  FORMS=STD,CHARS=GS10,DEST=LOCAL
//RPT1     DD      SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1,*.JOBOUT)
//STEP2    EXEC    PGM=SWRITE
//OUT2     OUTPUT  FORMS=111,CHARS=GB10,DEST=LOCAL
//RPT2     DD      SYSOUT=B,OUTPUT=(*.OUT2,*.JOBOUT)

This job causes JES2 to produce five sets of output:

• 1.1.1, containing the system-managed data sets. This set is specified through the JOB statement MSGCLASS parameter.
• SUMM.1.1, containing a copy of the data set defined by DD statement RPT1. This set is specified through the second OUTPUT subparameter: *.JOBOUT. It is for output class A.
• SUMM.2.1, containing a copy of the data set defined by DD statement RPT2. This set is specified through the second OUTPUT subparameter: *.JOBOUT. Because it is for output class B, it is in a separate subgroup from the SUMM.1.1 subgroup.
• 4.1.1, containing a copy of the data set defined by DD statement RPT1. This set is specified through the first OUTPUT subparameter: *.OUT1.
• 5.1.1, containing a copy of the data set defined by DD statement RPT2. This set is specified through the first OUTPUT subparameter: *.OUT2.
