Not always.  In our lab the default class is something other
than A which goes to bit bucket.  If I fail to specify the
class, I never see the output.  If I specify the class only
in an OUTPUT JCL statement and the job fails with a JCL error,
I never see the output.

Is this always the case, or only if the DD statement specifies
SYSOUT=*.  I believe in our lab configuration if I leave the
class empty on my DD SYSOUT statement, and omit the OUTPUT JCL
statement, the SYSOUT again goes to bit bucket.

Can the default classes for JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG, and job
step SYSOUT be controlled independently in PARMLIB as they can
with OUTPUT JCL statements?
