You have to specify something, don't you? At least in JCL. If you are referring to ALLOC via TSO (or perhaps BPXWDYN since I know you like that), then I think you can specify SYSOUT without a class or "*". If it is going into the bit bucket, check your jobclass settings for TSU, not STC, $DJOBCLASS(TSU). Even if it is going to the bit bucket and you are looking via SDSF, turn "INPUT ON" and put a ? next to your tso userid on a DA screen and you should see the output / DD and the class it is going to. In the OP's case, I was assuming dynamic allocation without a class is what ASM2 was doing based on what the vendor told the OP.
