Relationship to other parameters
Code the OUTLIM parameter only on a DD statement with the SYSOUT parameter.
Do not code the OUTLIM parameter with the DCB subparameters CPRI or THRESH; these subparameters can alter the OUTLIM value.
On dump DD statements: On a SYSABEND or SYSUDUMP
DD statement:
- JES3 ignores the OUTLIM parameter.
- JES2 limits the output as specified on the OUTLIM parameter.
Not only can JECL statement limit output, but the OUTLIM parameter is applied independently of other limits.
