OBJECT option syntax

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramOBJECTNOOBJECT

Default is: OBJECT

Abbreviations are: OBJ | NOOBJ

If you specify OBJECT, include a SYSLIN DD statement in your JCL for compilation.

The only difference between DECK and OBJECT is in the routing of output to the data sets:

  • DECK output goes to the data set associated with ddname SYSPUNCH.
  • OBJECT output goes to the data set associated with ddname SYSLIN.

Use the option that your installation guidelines recommend.
