We have our production batch jobs with MSGCLASS=J and SYSOUT=5 to direct the class 5 to $AVRS. We issue a $OJOBQ,Q=5 which re-queues and releases the class J to class 5. I've looked all over over system (exits, commands, etc.) to see if and where the class J is being re-queued prior to the release, but I'm not coming up with anything. So my question is: is the $O command re-queuing the output? I don't see this documented in the JES2 manuals and have googled the topic as well.
My observations so far: This is part of the OUTCLASS definition from our JES2 parms: OUTLASS(J),OUTDISP=(HOLD,HOLD) HOLD Hold the output. JES2 does not process the output until you either change the disposition to WRITE or KEEP, or release the output. When the output is released ($OQ), the disposition changes to WRITE. Re-queuing the job will retain the output disposition from the originating class. If output class J was changed to OUTDISP= (WRITE, WRITE), then re-queuing to class 5 would send it immediately to $AVRS and we would not need to issue the $OQ every 60 seconds. Any thoughts?
