Instead of coding

//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

code

//SYSOUT DD DSN=THE.DATASET.NAME,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),...

Hi,
You can use the XD command in Spool left to jobname,once the job finished.

Hi,

I think using XDC/XD command requires manual intervention. so, the suggestion by superk sounds better.

On thing to consider when putting a dataset to a file instead of batch sdsf is that if you just put the sysout to a dataset, it no longer shows in the sysout now longer shows in sdsf. This might be important if the ouput from the job is saved for reference but the dataset the sysout goes to isn't.
