Hi Gil, With regard to "Is there a way to control the programmer name field in a dynamically allocated data set and bypass submitting a batch job? I can't readily find it in "HELP ALLOCATE".
When using a batch job, the default name field used by the output separator process is that from the "Programmer's Name" field on the JOB statement, but it may also be supplied via the // OUTPUT statement. TSO provides an equivalent to OUTPUT in the form of the OUTDES command. Check out the NAME field on here, Page 201 in my manual. It offers greater possibilities being 60 characters long rather than 20. The OUTDES command will also supply a descriptor name, and it is this name which can then be used in the OUTDES parameter of the ALLOC command to tie things together.
