Copying the SYSOUT to a Dataset

Hi,

In a JCL I have 2 steps. The case is second step runs an program and produces SYSOUT in the SDSF spool.

Can anyone please tell if it is possible to copy this SYSOUT to a dataset. Such that the contents of SYSOUT is available in both the Spool as well in my dataset.

Hello,

Write this data to a file and then copy it to SYSOUT. Then you will have both.

If this is only ad hoc copying, you can also use the PRINT ODSN 'dsname' command from SDSF.

The copy would be a 3rd step.

Hi,

Good Morning..

Hope you are having at least one o/p file.

Delare a similar file and after your DISPLAY statements do a WRITE to the second output file ( SYSOUT Equivalent file ).


I guess that should do it.

Sharma,

Sorry for the interuptions on the " share the code part ". Please try this.. it should work. If not, we do can help you out.. I apologize if u feel i am being rude.




Thanks,
A

change the dd statements in the second step from
Code:
//sysout dd sysout=* (or whatever)
to
//sysout dd dsn=name.of.file


then in third step iebgener/or DFSORT COPY
Code:
//input  dd dsn=name.of.file
//output dd sysout=*



by the way, it is not SDSF spool.

SDSF is a spool display utility/facility.

You can also use the SDSF command XDC on the sysout you want to save to your dataset.

Hello,

Do as suggested and add a copy step to your jcl and it will be automatic. . .

Most organizations do not permit using KEEP when creating a new dataset - CATLG is used. Possibly your system causes the dataset to be cataloged when KEEP is specified. . .

Code:
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=YOURPGM
//SYSOUT   DD  DSN=YOUR.SYSOUT.ON.FILE,
//         DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//         UNIT=TEST,SPACE=(TRK,(2,1),RLSE),
//         DCB=(LRECL=080,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB)
//*
//STEP002 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSFILE  DD  DSN=YOUR.SYSOUT.ON.FILE,DISP=OLD
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*,DCB=(LRECL=080,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB)
//SYSIN    DD  *
    REPRO INFILE(SYSFILE) OUTFILE(SYSOUT)

Simple as that! It was exactly what I needed.

I have sysouts with millions of lines and I need to search for strings.
Doing this by paging F8 is impractical.

So my idea was to turn the sysout into a file and run 3.15 Search-ForE.

Done!
