Hi All,
A batch COBOL execution job has following statement in JCL
Code:

//SYSOUZ   DD  SYSOUT=*

but sysouz is not shown in spool in production.
What could be the reason and how to resolve it ?

what is the reference name of the file in the fd of the program?

if this is for displays, I would think that this is a typo and should be sysout.

Yes, it is for DISPLAY statements in COBOL program. But this is what all of our other programs use --- "SYSOUZ"

then go to your operations people and determine if sysouz is recognized

SYSOUZ even if confusing is a perfectly legal ddname by any means

the reason why it does not contain any data, is certainly hidden behind some programming quirk

very little we can do from here

if it &works in one environment and not in another,
analyze the environment differences

Hello,

Quote:

Because the was nothing written to the sysouz dd in the producton run?

Is this ddname documented in your jcl statndards? Is it possibly for debugging and is "turned off" in production for normal use?

You might check with your system support people and ask if they know the "rules" for this ddname.
