OUTDES Operand

z/OS TSO/E User's Guide
SA32-0971-00

To specify one or more output descriptors that were created by OUTPUT JCL statements in the LOGON procedure, use the OUTDES operand. Issue the ALLOCATE command and specify the FILE operand, the SYSOUT operand, and the OUTDES operand followed by the names of one or more JCL OUTPUT statements enclosed in parentheses.

Assume your LOGON procedure has OUTPUT JCL statements named PRINTER1 and DIRECTOR.

Example
//PRINTER1   OUTPUT  CHAR=GOTH,CLASS=C,COPIES=5
//DIRECTOR   OUTPUT  DEST=NODE2.DIRECTOR

To allocate a system output data set defined by ddname REPORT to the associated output descriptors, enter:

Example
ALLOCATE FILE(report) SYSOUT OUTDES(printer1,director)

For more information about the JCL OUTPUT statement, see z/OS MVS JCL Reference.
