Okay, I went back and revisited the JCL DD statements as you have indicated below. I added a //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* and reran the usermod APPLY.
It worked! Just as you indicated and just as I expected it to do the first time I tried this. Now that I have something that works, I'm really confused as to what has transpired since I started this. It's pretty hard to mess up a simple "//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*" statement but that's all I can figure, I didn't have something right in the typing of the statement. I'm going to go back and try the eventual modification that I want to make and see if I have the same result or something new. Thanks John, and everyone else, for insisting that it should work.

Indeed, JCL overrides "just work". Assuming you have DDDEFs for all required datasets, your APPLY job that works could be as simple as: //jobname JOB acctg.info,MSGCLASS=X,... //stepname EXEC PGM=GIMSMP[,REGION=0M[,...]] //SMPCSI DD DISP=SHR,DSN=my.smp.global.csi //SMPCNTL DD * SET BDY(tgtzone) . APPLY S(usermod) ASSEM REDO . /* Based on your descriptions, you get your //SYSPRINT output in class X. To get your //SYSPRINT output into class F, you need only add one JCL statement: //jobname JOB acctg.info,MSGCLASS=X,... //stepname EXEC PGM=GIMSMP[,REGION=0M[,...]] //SMPCSI DD DISP=SHR,DSN=my.smp.global.csi //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=F <<<<<=========== add this statement //SMPCNTL DD * SET BDY(tgtzone) . APPLY S(usermod) ASSEM REDO . /* It really is that simple. -jc- ********************************************************************** Information contained in this e-mail message and in any attachments thereto is confidential.
