Issue/Introduction

A client reports that a report is not being selected for processing. 

The job producing the report has the following DD:

//JS050  EXEC PROCA

//PS085.SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=(,),

//             OUTPUT=(*.STEP123,*.STEP456)

//             DCB=(RECFM=FBA)

Prior to this DD are the following OUTPUT statements:

//STEP123 OUTPUT DEST=NONPRINT,CLASS=X,FORMS=S6D7

//STEP456 OUTPUT DEST=NONPRINT,CLASS=X,FORMS=S6D7

The //STEP456 report is not being processed. 

What can be advised?

Environment

Release : 12.2

Component : CA Deliver

Resolution

Currently, Deliver will honor only the first referback used in a //... DD SYSOUT statement. 

As the majority of the statements in the client's JCL used the same // OUTPUT values, it was asked of the client if they could limit the referback to just one statement. 

Otherwise, it was suggested that there may need to be changes in their JCL, so that a particular destination is referred to specifically, versus a referback. 

The client opted to make changes in their JCL.
