UPON SYSOUT? <GRIN> If you want to do I/O to a "sysprint" DD, then OPEN/PUT/CLOSE with a DCB is your only real option. Well, I lied. If you write LE enabled HLASM, then you _might_ be able to use the CEEMOUT LE subroutine to write a message to the LE message file (normally SYSPRINT DD). I think this is what COBOL does for the DISPLAY UPON SYSOUT sentence. I say _might_ because I have never tried it myself. Ref: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CEEA31B0/2.2.5.53 CALL CEEMOUT,(MSG_STRUC,F2),VL MSG_STRUCT DC Y(L'MSG) MSG DC C'This message should show up on SYSPRINT.' F2 DC F'2' -- This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.
