Output JES data set to a different class

Products

• OM View

Issue/Introduction

You need to output one or more JES datasets to a different class for View to collect.

Environment

View 14.0

Cause

By default the JESDS parameter ALL is used and the SYSOUT will be collected to your MSGCLASS in your job.

Resolution

To output one or multiple JES datasets to a different class in your job you will need to use the an output statement with the JESDS parameter with the class you wish to collect.

 

The options for the JESDS parameter are the following:

• ALL
  
  Indicates the this OUTPUT JCL statement applies to all of the job's system-managed data sets.
  
  
• LOG
  
  Indicates that this OUTPUT JCL statement applies only to the JESMSGLG data set, which contains the JES and operator messages for this job.
  
  
• JCL
  
  Indicates that this OUTPUT JCL statement applies only to the JESJCL data set, which contains the JCL statements for this job.
  
  
• MSG
  
  Indicates that this OUTPUT JCL statement applies only to the JESYSMSG data set, which contains any JCL error messages and any system messages for this job. 

 

Example OUTPUT statements are below:

Example 1 (outputs one JES dataset to a different class):

//JOBCARD....
//OUT1 OUTPUT JESDS=(LOG),CLASS=A

 

Example 2 (outputs multiple JES dataset to a different class):

//JOBCARD...
//OUT1 OUTPUT JESDS=(LOG),CLASS=A
//OUT2 OUTPUT JESDS=(MSG),CLASS=B
