Why do we use SYSUDUMP in a jcl???
we have a job which has been printing lot of reports on an external printer from a job. I think the culprit is the SYSUDUMP statement.
In the jcl it is like
SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=C |

Hi,
SYSUDUMP- output file for a system 'dump' if the program fails.
If "C" is a CLASS assigned to a printer, it can be the reason to initiate a printer.
P.S. 'culprint'..heh heh...good 'name' ...  |

yeah, that is why i used italic text for 'can' in my previous post.. some time I'm mean.. I think...
It should should initiate printer only when JOB ends with a non-zero RC. |

Should be 0, unless other rc's are also acceptable (like 4 sometimes). |

Hi,
can't you compare the printed output to the completed job to find out which DDNAME the output belongs to ?

Hello,
If you post the job statement and the jcl for the step creating the questionable output, we may be better able to offer suggestions. |
