Hi,
I have seen the ddname SNAPER in several jcl procedures but upon digging further as to where & for what it is used, i couldnot find it. Also, this appears on some procs in this forum. This means that this is not a user specific ddname and appears to be a system defined one.
| Code: |
//SNAPER DD SYSOUT=&SOUTJ
//*
|
Can anybody explain the use of this ddname?
Thank you. |

Yup, for more than 40 years. . .
This was a required statement in each step of batch jobs that ran anything other than some IEwhatever utility on several systems i've worked on.
