<SNIP> SYSIN and SYSPRINT are not used by TSO. I have never seen them coded in a TSO logon procedure. However, doing so harms nothing. <SNIP> I have seen them so coded (way back when). Probably on an old system running TCAM. Meanwhile, they CAN BE used by CLIST and REXX when invoking programs. Does that constitute TSO (in CLIST case)? But this is an old thing going way back to when SPF was just a dream (and ISPF wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye). And so, if you decide to invoke a utility, such as IEBGENER, within your CLIST code, you will need to point SYSIN and SYSPRINT to somewhere other than the terminal. Then when the utility has finished, point them back to the terminal.
