Environment

OPS/MVS all releases

Resolution

For the sample proc OPSSLGP to "pre-allocate a dataset for the SYSPRINT DD and route messages destined to SYSPRINT to the dataset", the suggestions for dataset HLQ.OPS.SLGOUT are:

 . DCB: RECFM=VB LRECL=137 BLKSIZE=882
 . Allocation: CYL(1,1)

Note: The dataset would be best as a temporary dataset.
