Foreground and batch output listings

These additional listing data sets are allocated as needed for foreground or batch processing:

prefix.userid.list-id.LIST
prefix.userid.list-id.LINKLIST
prefix.userid.list-id.TERM
prefix.userid.list-id.TESTLIST

prefix: The data set prefix in your TSO profile. Use it only if you have one and it is different from your user ID.
userid: Your user ID.
list-id: The name specified in the List ID field on the foreground or batch data entry panel. This name is required for sequential data sets. However, for partitioned data sets, the member name becomes the default list-id if the List ID field is blank.

The particular data set names you use depend on the foreground or batch processing option chosen.

For batch processing, the output can either be directed to a list data set or printed as part of the batch job. When batch processing is finished, you can browse the list data set, and then use the Hardcopy utility (option 3.6) to print it. Using this utility, show whether you want to keep the data set or delete it after printing. ISPF does not delete these data sets when you end ISPF.

For the foreground option, the output listing is directed to a list data set and automatically displayed for browsing. When you end the browse function, ISPF displays a selection panel that allows you to choose whether to print, keep, or delete the list data set. Again, ISPF does not delete this data set when you end ISPF.
