Subject: Re: FW: SYSOUT dynamic allocation in COBOL

<SNIP> 
("DDName SYSOUT"?  Not SYSPRINT?  Not SYSTERM?  COBOL seems
to want to be the misfit.  Will it accept an alternate DDNAME
list as a second PARM?)
<SNIP>

COBOL's original implementation has been carried forward from all the
way back to OS/MFT as far as I know. 

This is why some others pointed out COMPILE time options that can be
set. 

You can only change the SYSOUT DD (well, this was back when I was
dealing with VS/COBOL) via some slick tricks (like an ASM Subroutine
that finds all open DCBs to a particular DD...).
