Hi Guys,

I need a quick help.Could you guys please help me out here

In my JCL i've used

//out1 output copies=2,pagedef=xxxx

After that using IEBGENER utility :

//sysut2 dd sysout=A,output=(*.out1)....

here am referring OUT1 statement from previous, here instead of printing 2 copies it is printing one copy.In addition do i need to code any other parameters?

Thanks,
S.Dinesh

Thanks

Hi,

If the OUTPUT JCL statement contains a FORMDEF parameter, which specifies a library member, the COPYGROUP parameter on a FORMDEF statement in that member overrides any group-value subparameters on the OUTPUT JCL COPIES parameter or the sysout DD COPIES parameter.

Anuj,

Thanks for your response!

Here FORMDEF parameter was not used in the OUTPUT JCL statement ,Shall i use COPIES parameter in SYSUT2 also...

Thanks,
S.Dinesh

Hi,

Bit tough for me predict from my end, however, can you please share your JCL here. Please enclose your JCL in "code" while posting.

Hi,
I tried your output statement and it works fine for me.

Are you viewing the output via SDSF or are you actually printing the output ?

When I view the output via SDSF, the TOT-REC shows double the number of records of my input file.

Cheers
