Configuration questions on View and FSS

Issue/Introduction

Currently have a number of separate View instances running that select sysouts based upon output class and destination (the DEST= and CLSL= initialization parms). We need to combine these separate View instances into a single instance and need to maintain the collections.  We are aware of how to use separate FSS tasks to collect separate output classes, but there does not appear to be a way to select a combination of class and destination. Here are some examples of the current settings:

VIEW1 parms:

CLSL=A
DEST=dest1

VIEW2 parms:
CLSL=A
DEST=dest2

We want to collect class A output that has only DEST=dest1 or DEST=dest2 on the sysout statement (or OUTPUT statement).

Resolution

You can define a virtual printer, defining destinations, using something like the following:

$T Q=A,D=(dest1,dest2),WS=(Q,D)

The above code with SARFSS allows for the definition of more than one DEST in the View initialization parameters.

If you wanted to define more than one sysout class, you could use code something like:

$T Q=AB,D=(dest1,dest2),WS=(Q,D)
