I may be missing something, but if you know at compile-time (when you can

statement? Either that or call CEEMSG.
I think those are "more normal" ways in COBOL to send output to SYSOUT.
I don't speak COBOL; bear with me. What's the syntax, in
the DISPLAY statement, to select which DD SYSOUT in the JCL
is used?
-- gil
DISPLAY ... UPON {SYSOUT|CONSOLE}
There's a compile time option that can change the DDname
used for UPON SYSOUT, but it is not changeable at run time.
