SA23-1385-00

WRITE
Indicates that the system is to print the sysout data set. After printing the data set, the system purges it.

Unless it is held by the system or operator, a sysout data set with the disposition WRITE will always print.

HOLD
Indicates that the system is to hold the sysout data set until the user or operator releases it. Releasing the sysout data set changes its disposition to WRITE.

If HOLD output is not released, the system holds it until the user or operator purges it.

NJE Note: In an NJE environment, the system does not hold the data set until it reaches its ultimate destination node.

KEEP
Indicates that the system is to print the sysout data set. After printing the data set, the system changes its disposition to LEAVE.
LEAVE
Indicates that after the user or operator releases the sysout data set, the disposition of the data set changes to KEEP.

If LEAVE output is not released, the system holds it until the user or operator purges it.

PURGE
Indicates that the system is to delete the sysout data set without printing it.
