Hi,

This is my first post in this forum.

My run of program is not producing any SYSOUT in the SDSF(Spool). I have taken the program from PRODUCTION and compiled and linked to my personal LOAD and have mentioned the same in STEPLIB.

When a run the same program with production load, SYSOUT is coming.

What could be the problem here?

Yes, SYSOUT has been code. Along with it many other are coded.

//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//CEEDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSABOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSDBOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//LOGFILE DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

The problem is that the same step with PRODUCTION load is giving SYSOUT but when I compile the program in my personal load and run it, it is not giving SYSOUT. On top of that RC is returned as 0.

Are you running the code from your load lib against the same prod data?

Isn't there a chance that the logic of the program and the input data works in a way that it bypasses all the display statements?

by using sysout=* you are defaulting to the jobcard class. is this class held, printed, deleted???

your job output could very well be in two or more classes, which means you have to find them in the spool.

Thanks for your input.

The program is the same in both the cases and it is run against the same
data.

I will try tomorrow by putting the display statement at the
top below the PROCEDURE DIVISION, to validate your point.

Check the msgclass in your JOB CARD with sysout=* that is where all your sysout would be going.

Thanks all for the ideas.

Manu you were right. When I put the display at the top of procedure division, the SYSOUT came. The code was calling some common module
after which the SYSOUT did not come.

I commented the call to the common module and in-lined the code in the program and SYSOUT came.

Is this some new call or is it also in the original production version of the program? If it is in the production verson. . . .?

It is good to hear that it is working - as long as it will work in all cases icon_smile.gif

Yes, open a new topic and don't resurrect 13(!) year old posts!
