I may be missing something, but if you know at compile-time (when you can
set an environment variable) that you want the "output" to go to SYSOUT, why
are you using "files" (with OPEN, WRITE, etc) and not just doing a DISPLAY
statement? Either that or call CEEMSG.
I think those are "more normal" ways in COBOL to send output to SYSOUT.

I have used dynamic allocation via the environmental variables in COBOL.
Thanks to Steve Comstock and others for getting me started.
But I see nothing about SYSOUT and it says a DSN is required.
My need is for a //X DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)
Bill,
He's not really sending things to a true SYSOUT file, but to an
email server. However, you could do such a thing by hardcoding
the DD name and opening the file, writing, then closing, and
then re-opening; each file should be sent separately.
Just leave a single DD statement, //MAILOUT DD SYSOUT=(B,SMTP)
if you like. No need for dynamic allocation at all.
Don't have time to test right now. I will if I get a chance later.
Kind regards,
