Or multiple OUTPUT statements applicable to a single DD SYSOUT with some having W=INTRDR and others having no writer or a writer other than INTRDR. (The JCL Ref. cautions against having INTRDR on the DD statement but a(nother) writer on the OUTPUT statement, but I don't see any prohibition of different writers on various applicable OUTPUT statements.) Generally, options on the DD statement override any on the OUTPUT statement(s). INTRDR seems to be an exception. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
