"*" will request the output class in the MSGCLASS parameter on the JOB statement. Basically, it routes the messages to default SYSOUT class. You might use specific classes also, e.g.:
where "A" might represent a printer-class.
Code: Select all
//sysout dd sysout=A

Hi sairamdarsi,
first of all sysprint & sysout statements are used to route the output of the jcl..
sysprint is used to print the output of dataset related information in that job..
IEFBR14 is a dummy utility that does not requires sysout statemet.. other utility like IEBGENER, IEBCOPY utilities should require sysprint.. else jclerror will be resulted.
sysout is used to route the cobol program's DISPLAY statements..
Now, * means route these messages to the class specified in the MSGCLASS..
sysout dd sysout= A will route the results to printer output..
even you can direct these results to a dataset dy specifying the dsn neme at the place of * like
//SYSOUT DD DSN=TSOGKUM.TRG.OUTFILE,DISP=SHR
hope i'm right in this post.. if not please correct me.[/img]
