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.

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. >$DJOBCLASS(STC) > > or for more recent JES2 versions you will need > >$DJOBCLASS(STC),LONG > Can the default classes for JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG, and job step SYSOUT be controlled independently in PARMLIB as they can with OUTPUT JCL statements? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
