DEST parameter

Parameter type

Keyword, optional

Purpose

Use the DEST parameter to specify a destination for a sysout data set. The DEST parameter can send a sysout data set to a remote or local terminal, a node, a node and remote workstation, a local device or group of devices, or a node and userid.

Note: Code the DEST parameter only on a DD statement with a SYSOUT parameter. Otherwise, the system checks the DEST parameter for syntax, then ignores it.
