z/OS MVS JCL Reference
SA23-1385-00

Example 1
//J1     JOB    ,'MARY LUDWIG'
//JOUT   OUTPUT CLASS=C,FORMS=RECP,INDEX=6
//STEP1  EXEC   PGM=XYZ
//SOUT   OUTPUT CLASS=H,BURST=YES,CHARS=GT12,FLASH=BLHD
//ALL    DD     SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.JOUT,*.SOUT),COPIES=5
//IN     DD     *
          .
         (data)
          .
/*
The OUTPUT parameter references two OUTPUT JCL statements. Therefore, the system prints the single sysout data set twice:
  • For DD ALL combined with OUTPUT JOUT, the sysout data set is printed in class C. In the installation, output class C is printed on a 3211 Printer. Combining the parameters from the DD and OUTPUT JCL statements, the system prints 5 copies of the data set on form RECP and indents the left margin 5 spaces.
  • For DD ALL combined with OUTPUT SOUT, the sysout data set is printed in class H. In the installation, output class H is printed on a 3800 Printing Subsystem. Combining the parameters from the DD and OUTPUT JCL statements, the system prints 5 copies of the data set with the forms-overlay frame named BLHD using character-arrangement table GT12 and bursts the output.
Example 2
//J6     JOB    ,'SUE THACKER'
//OUTA   OUTPUT DEST=HQ
//STEP1  EXEC   PGM=RDR
//OUTB   OUTPUT CONTROL=DOUBLE
//DS1    DD     SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUTA,*.OUTB)
//STEP2  EXEC   PGM=WRT
//OUTC   OUTPUT DEST=ID2742
//DS2    DD     SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUTC,*.STEP1.OUTB)
The OUTPUT parameter on DS1 references:
  • The job-level OUTPUT JCL statement OUTA to send the sysout data set to HQ.
  • The step-level OUTPUT JCL statement OUTB to print the sysout data set double-spaced on the local 3800 Printing Subsystem used for output class A.
The OUTPUT parameter on DS2 references:
  • OUTPUT JCL statement OUTB in the first step to print the sysout data set double-spaced on the local 3800 Printing Subsystem used for output class A.
  • OUTPUT JCL statement OUTC in the same step to send the sysout data set to userid ID2742, which is attached to the local system.
Note: The references to OUTPUT JCL statements are in no particular order.
