Please explain me the difference between SYSIN ann SYSLIN. Moreover is it possible to write the JCL output statements to a PS using
SYSOUT DD DSN=NEW.OUT.DATA, DISP=(,catlg,delete)...
If i am wrong please correct me, with the accurate method to pass the JCL output statements and errors to a PS.

Thanks

Other than stating that the difference between the two DD names is the letter "L", there is no logical comparison that one can make between two DD names.

I have seen where they are both used in a program compile / link-edit job. In this case, SYSIN is the input program source code, and SYSLIN is the output object deck (for the compile) and the input object deck (for the Link Editor).

Yes, just like you shown in your code.
