Issue/Introduction

Customer stated 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?

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 if they could limit the referback to just one statement. Otherwise, it was suggested that there may need to change their JCL, so that a particular destination is referred to specifically, versus a referback.
