Hello babujini,

SYSPRINT:
Defines a sequential data set used for listing control statements and messages. The data set can be written on a system output device, a tape volume, or a DASD volume. If the SYSPRINT DD statement is omitted, no messages are written. The block size for the SYSPRINT data set must be a multiple of 121. Any blocking factor can be specified

Hope this helps,

Regards
