Directing Base output to a data set instead of to JES spool
By default, if messages and trace data are requested, the AGMAPROC JCL
sends them to a dynamically allocated Data Definition (DD) that is directed to the JES spool. If JES
spool space is limited, consider directing Base output to a data set.
About this task
If a SYSPRINT DD statement is included in AGMAPROC, all
messages and trace data are directed to SYSPRINT. SYSPRINT is then
redirected to a data set. This can be useful when JES spool space is limited and you prefer output
to be directed to a data set rather than to spool.
Procedure
Modify the
AGMAPROC JCL procedure to include a SYSPRINT DD
statement.
Ensure that the
SYSPRINT data set is large enough to avoid an x37
ABEND. For
example://SYSPRINT DD DSN=hlq.SYSPRINT,DCB=(DSORG=PS,LRECL=121), etc
