my understanding there are tools available to store output after successful finish of jobs like $AVERS etc.

I guess it depends on site that how long jobs can sits in queue/get deleted

I think we have to type a 3-letter command in front of the sysout to save it to the dataset .... I think it is XDS. Not very sure though ...

Hi,

As already suggested, use XDC command againist to the job name in SPOOL then press enter, there you can see pop up screen to provide data set which is already cataloged, specify the data set name, then press ENTER

then complete SPOOL info is copied to that data set.

hi,

This is venkat,

while going to spool the command's are

press f4,
issue pre,shift+tabkey,
control move to last user(i.e recent user) ,
there alyways we r give' ?',
insted of that ?-mark we can type 'XDC'.
at that time ,it will ask one pds name.
there we can give that pds name with disp status.
then the data in spool will move to pds member.

hi Anuj,

Anuj written,

//DDname DD SYSOUT=*

In our JCL'S we coded that writting error messages to spool by using the above SYSOUT.

Now the problem is it is working always,after that we coded like below

//DDname DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,DSORG=PS,BLKSIZE=00000)
it is working fine.

but i want to know why it is so....

I anlaysed but not found the reason why it is like this.

If you needed to add DCB info to the DDname to make it work it means the program is NOT providing it. SOmetimes the LRECL, RECFM and even BLKSIZE maybe coded right in the program so the parameters may be omitted from JCL.

hi,

Can you please explain in detail

While i code sysout without DCB parameteres, i got messages in spool in some runs.

while i code sysout with DCB Parameters, i got messages in spool for every run.

Hello,

You need to post some of both kinds of messages you are interested in.

Every job ever run places some messages in the spool.
