Basically SDSF does not purge output. You should some $VS command in JES2 or an automation tool that would purge output
Second you can code JES2 parms to HOLD KEEP PURGE functions for given Output classes. Use the $DJOBCLASS(??),LONG to see what the DISP= is set at for that class. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2020 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Persuading SDSF to leave output in the output queue a while longer In real life I'm a programmer and security jock, but one of the systems I run RACF for is a small rented space at IBM's Dallas data center - "small" meaning there are currently three users if you include me, four if you count an inactive ID for the boss. None of us are systems programmers, but I think I'm the one most likely to read the manuals. One of them is testing a new STC, and it's hanging around in SDSF afterward for only "an hour or so". I suppose this is controled by something in the SDSF parms, and I further suppose I'll find it in a PARMLIB member named ISF-something. I have one old SDSF manual, but I'm not convinced it's the one I need. 1) Can anyone tell me what parm I should look for that controls this, and in what member? 2) What manual should I consult to find out more about this? --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* Thousands of years ago, Egyptians worshiped cats.
