We are trying to target cases where a COBOL program "goes production" but is still riddled with lots of active DISPLAY(*) statements left from its debugging period

Examining the output of such a program, one can see millions of records written to a DD

We want to selectively abort COBOL programs that "went production" with such forgotten
DISPLAY statements left behind from debugging period

We intend to force users to code a reasonable OUTLIM on DDs named SYSOUT in COBOL jobsteps. The problem is, while we can get control when OUTLIM is exceeded (IEFUSO), we
do not know what is the DDNAME for which this event occurred

Any suggestion ?


Well this has holes in it but if you really did want to for it it would let the exit know and it could issue the abend. Just enforce outlim= on all sysout cards. you could put it in automatically in a JES2 exit (as an example).

Personally I wouldn't do it but it is possible, hold on to your seat for repercussions though.
