Nothing started with SUB=MSTR may specify SYSOUT= in the JCL. You'll get a JCL error if you try. Most other things will work. The program itself could later request a JES JOBID via an SSI call, and then dynamically allocate SYSOUT datasets. At one time, such an STC had to have all of its datasets catalogued in the master catalog, but I think that is no longer true. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
