I think by default STC SYSOUT goes to class W which gets purged every four (?) 
hours.

I am in the same boat as you: a developer playing sysprog in Dallas.

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.

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?
