OK, that obviously fits my results. >For more information on use of standard streams with DDs, see "Ch 9. Using C and C++ standard streams and redirection" in the XLC/C++ Programming Guide. In there you will see that DD:SYSPRINT will be used if present, and otherwise dynamically allocated. You will see that there is also a silly way to redirect stdout on the PARM statement for a batch job. Reading that chapter, it talks about SYSPRINT, which I do have explicitly allocated: //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=O But while the SYSPRINT output is O, the rest is W (the default per the STCCLASS statement): JESMSGLG JES2 2 STCOPER W JESJCL JES2 3 STCOPER W JESYSMSG JES2 4 STCOPER W SYSPRINT Z830 102 STCOPER O SYS00001 Z830 108 STCOPER W Does this mean there's no way to do what we want? The: PARM='/ 2>&1' doesn't appear to be useful to me, since it still means stuff is in the stdxxx world. If the answer is "No" that's OK (with me, anyway) but I'm not clear that's what you said (yet)!
