Defining the output data set (SYSPRINT)

You can use ddname SYSPRINT to produce a listing. The listing includes the results of the default or requested options of the PARM parameter (that is, diagnostic messages and the object-code listing).

You can direct the output to a SYSOUT data set, a printer, a direct-access storage device, or a magnetic-tape device. For example:


//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A

The SYSPRINT data set can be a sequential data set, a PDS or PDSE member, or a z/OS® UNIX file. For details about how to specify the record format, record length, and block size of the SYSPRINT data set, see the related reference below.
