Different DDNAMEs.... icon_biggrin.gif

Well, seriously, it depends on the program that uses these DDNAMEs.

It depends on your program. For example - In COBOL you use the SELECT statement to assign DDNAMEs to files; In REXX you usually use TSO's ALLOCATE command or ISPD's LMINIT; COBOL compiler puts its listing to SYSPRINT etc., while COBOL's DISPLAY statement is going to be in SYSOUT etc.
