Hi All,

Can someone help me to clarify my below query?

I have a JCL with instream data and I wanted this data to be printed in SPOOL Sysout. Is it possible?

//JOB1 JOB ........
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
1
2
3
//*

Thanks,
Gigish

What happened when you tried it ?

Sysout was not displayed in SPOOL.

IEBGENER uses DD names of SYSUT1, SYSUT2, and SYSIN -- which you would know if you'd read the Utilities manual in the DFSMS bookshelf on the IBM web site or on this web site. I recommend you spend some time in the manual and try to change your job appropriately.

By any chance, are you talking about IEBGENER - the generalized copy utility from IBM?

And the topic of this thread is pretty mis-leading: my first impression was if you're looking for "INPUT ON" command of SDSF!
