This is a real puzzler to me. I did an OPEN on a dynamically allocated SYSOUT. The DYNALLOC must have worked because I didn't get any error messages from my program and I see the allocation to SYS00001. The OPEN has R15==8. There are absolutely no other error messages. Nor did I get any sort of abend. This is a TSO command processor, running under a batch TMP, if that matters. I am guessing this is occurring because I do not specify an LRECL, RECFM, and BLKSIZE in my model DCB. And apparently my attempts to implement ATTRIB processing failed. If I output to a DDN (another option) which is SYSOUT=X,LRECL=... then the output works as I planned. Am I on the right track about the LRECL et al.?
