The SMPOUT data set contains messages issued during SMP/E processing,
as well as dumps of the VSAM RPL, if any dumps were taken. It might
also contain LIST output and reports if the SMPHRPT, SMPLIST, and
SMPRPT data sets are not defined.
Attributes
Sequential; LRECL=121, BLKSIZE=multiple of 121, RECFM=FBA, DISP=MOD.
Device
SYSOUT, printer, direct access, tape, or terminal.
Note:
BLKSIZE must not exceed 32760.
If SMPOUT is allocated to a data set, the disposition must be
MOD, because SMP/E opens and closes the SMPOUT DD statement at each
SET command. If the disposition is SHR or OLD, SMPOUT contains only
the output from the last set of commands processed before the end
of SMP/E processing.
If SMPOUT is being allocated for the GIMGTPKG, GIMUNZIP, GIMXSID,
or GIMZIP service routine, and you want the resulting SMP/E messages
to be formatted to an 80–character length for easier browsing on a
terminal, then specify LRECL=81 and BLKSIZE as a multiple of 81.
This data set may reside in a UNIX file
system. Specify FILEDATA=TEXT and PATHOPTS(OWRONLY,OAPPEND) on
the DD statement for this data set, if it is to reside
in a UNIX file system.
If OAPPEND is not specified, SMPOUT contains only the output from
the last set of commands processed before the end of SMP/E processing.
