Re: Default class for JES2 SYSOUT
Hi Mark and Barry, I'm sorry to take so long to reply - I think I'm on a different time zone to you (I'm in the UK) and don't work weekends normally. Plus I was stuck in meetings for most of Friday. Anyway, you are spot on with your advice and I'm really surprised that CA didn't suggest checking the options as I've had a query about this logged with them since 26th September! I will let them know what the solution is. We did have $SYSOUTC coded as X'C1'. I don't know why - it probably dates back to when ASM2 was first installed many years ago, long before I took on responsibility for it, but the output has been discarded for years. I have changed it this morning and now the output goes to the purge class as we wanted. I had a horrible feeling it was going to be something really stupid that I had overlooked, but because of the response I'd had from CA, I was convinced it was some operating system default and have spent hours looking at completely the wrong thing! Anyway, as the saying goes, all's well that ends well. Thank you so much for having taken the time and trouble to respond and for researching the solution for me. I am really very grateful for your help and advice. It's fantastic to find a group of people that are willing to spend their time helping out a complete stranger.

Re: Default class for JES2 SYSOUT
Hi Peter and Mark, I have a call logged with CA but their response is:- 'ASM2 does not ask for a specific SYSOUT class. No code within the product asks for this. It appears that the operating system default is doing this class definition for us.' Hence why I was trying to establish if there is a default that I can change. They also appear to have a similar setup in their JES parms to us, but say that their SYS1-SYS4 goes to their MSGCLASS class, whereas ours doesn't and I have no idea why not.

Re: Default class for JES2 SYSOUT
Hi Barry, It's the STC for IXR. In the STC, we set the DD for IXRMAIN1 to SYSOUT=Z, which is our purge class. Also, in our JES parms, our JOBCLASS for STC sets MSGCLASS=Z. In the proc, all other SYSOUT for IXR is set to X, which is our held class. In IOF, the job display shows:- --JOBNAME--JOBIDSTATUS---RAN/RECEIVED--DAY---DEST-- IXRASUBS S020882 RUNNING 5:01 10/17/2008 TODAY N1 --RC--PGMSTEP-PRSTEP---PROC-COMMENTS --- @ £IXRMAIN ASM2 STARTING IXRASUBS RETURN CODE NOT AVAILABLE DDNAME---STEP-PRSTEP---STAT-ACT-C-GRP-D-SIZE-U-DEST--- - _1 LOG * Z 2 L _2 JCL * Z 60 L _3 MESSAGES * Z 2 L _4 IXRMAIN1 ASM2 STARTING Z _5 SYSPRINT ASM2 STARTING X _6 IXRPRINT ASM2 STARTING X _7 IXRINIT ASM2 STARTING X _8 SYSMDUMP ASM2 STARTING X _9 ASM0 ASM2 STARTING X _ 10 SYS1 ASM2 STARTING A _ 11 SYS2 ASM2 STARTING A _ 12 SYS3 ASM2 STARTING A _ 13 SYS4 ASM2 STARTING A It's the SYS1-SYS4 that we'd like to change from class A. They only have output in, and get printed, if anyone has actually brought any files back through IXR, but we'd prefer this output to be held, not printed. It would be great if you know how we can change this.

Re: Default class for JES2 SYSOUT
Hi Mark, Thanks very much for your reply. That's actually one of the things that's confusing me as the MSGCLASS for our STCs is Z which is our purge class. The output from $DJOBCLASS(STC) is:- JOBCLASS(STC) TIME=(60,00),REGION=0001M, COMMAND=DISPLAY,BLP=YES,AUTH=(ALL), MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=Z, IEFUJP=YES,IEFUSO=YES,LOG=NO, OUTDISP=(HOLD,HOLD),OUTPUT=YES, PERFORM=000,PROCLIB=00,SWA=BELOW, TYPE26=YES,TYPE6=YES,XEQCOUNT=(), CONDPURG=NO,JESLOG=(NOSPIN) The job display in IOF is as follows:- --JOBNAME--JOBIDSTATUS---RAN/RECEIVED--DAY---DEST--- --- IXRASUBS S020882 RUNNING 5:01 10/17/2008 TODAY N1 --RC--PGMSTEP-PRSTEP---PROC-COMMENTS --- @ £IXRMAIN ASM2 STARTING IXRASUBS RETURN CODE NOT AVAILABLE DDNAME---STEP-PRSTEP---STAT-ACT-C-GRP-D-SIZE-U-DEST _1 LOG * Z 2 L _2 JCL * Z 60 L _3 MESSAGES * Z 2 L _4 IXRMAIN1 ASM2 STARTING Z _5 SYSPRINT ASM2 STARTING X _6 IXRPRINT ASM2 STARTING X _7 IXRINIT ASM2 STARTING X _8 SYSMDUMP ASM2 STARTING X _9 ASM0 ASM2 STARTING X _ 10 SYS1 ASM2 STARTING A _ 11 SYS2 ASM2 STARTING A _ 12 SYS3 ASM2 STARTING A _ 13 SYS4 ASM2 STARTING A It's the SYS0001-SYS4 that we'd like to change from class A.

Default class for JES2 SYSOUT
Please can someone tell me if SYSOUT=A is always the default class for SYSOUT in JES2, or if this is something that can be changed somewhere. Also if it can be set, which parameter it is. I have tried looking in the JES2 and MVS manuals but haven't been able to find the answer. We generally use the SYSOUT parameter on the DD statement to select the required output class, so it isn't usually an issue. However, we have some output from one of the CA ASM2 started tasks that goes to SYSOUT class A, which is the class we use to actually print jobs so is defined in our JES parms with OUTDISP=(WRITE,WRITE). We don't want this particular output to print, but there doesn't appear to be any way to change the SYSOUT class for it - according to CA, ASM2 does not ask for a specific output class so they say it must be the operating system default, but can't tell me what I may be able to change to stop it printing.
