Skip, Thanks for the explanation (I had to look up what AFAIK meant LOL) which makes sense to me. I verified my test code will return with RC=04 for an invalid DEST name (ANY!@#$%) which is what you would expect. I don't know if you saw the previous discussion (in December) as to what lead up to this but it will explain what I was trying to figure out.
Andy, I did try the TSO command ALLOC SYSOUT(A) DEST(NOSUCH.ANY) and JES2 returned an INVALID DESTINATION in SUBSYSTEM message like you would expect. Ed, your response confirms what skip was saying, the "unknown" DEST is handled by the LOCAL JES which waits for instructions on what to do with it. Thanks for all of your help/input. I will document the code so someone won't have to go through this again.
