See the LINES parameter of the JOB statement in the JCL manual. Did you look up what a $HASP375 means?

read the manual and follow the advice,
and ask Your support about the proper parameter specification

Hi,
In the jobcard give LINES=1000. Your problem will get resolved

If program abends atleast you can see the sysout if you give the LINES=1000 in your job card.

Estimated lines exceeded is not an error -- it is a warning. You can resolve it by changing your program to not generate so many lines of output, or by working with your site support group to address the issue -- which may involve adding a LINES parameter but it may not.

I would not just add a LINES= to your JCL because (1) many sites control output in other ways (for example, by job class) so adding a LINES= may be completely useless, and (2) it may violate site standards which can have negative consequences up to and including termination of the employee for violating them.
