>From the JCL manual: -------------------------------------------- //OUTDD1 DD DUMMY,DSNAME=X.X.Z,UNIT=3380, // SPACE=(TRK,(10,2)),DISP=(,CATLG)
DD statement OUTDD1 defines a dummy data set. The other parameters coded on the statement are checked for syntax but not used. ----------------------------------------------- >From the above, I don't think the JFCB is populated. The manual does say DCB >values are populated. If memory serves me correctly, an instructor in a class >from a long time ago said that DUMMY overrides DSN and in a procedure override >statement DSN overrides DUMMY.

A general pointer in the right direction would be nice. Specific examples would be great! :-) Thanks, Frank >>> The information contained in this electronic communication and any document attached hereto or transmitted herewith is confidential and intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity named above.
