Example - multiple output 

  
//EXAMP    JOB     MSGCLASS=A  
//OUT1     OUTPUT  DEFAULT=YES,DEST=COMPLEX7,FORMS=BILLING,  
//           CHARS=(AOA,AOB),COPIES=2  
//OUT2     OUTPUT  DEFAULT=YES,DEST=COMPLEX3  
//OUT3     OUTPUT  DEST=COMPLEX1  
//STEP1    EXEC    PGM=ORDERS  
//OUT4     OUTPUT  DEFAULT=YES,DEST=COMPLEX9  
//R1       DD      SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=*.OUT3  
//R2       DD      SYSOUT=A  
//STEP2    EXEC    PGM=BILLING  
//B1       DD      SYSOUT=A  
//B2       DD      SYSOUT=A
This job requests that the system produce nine sets of output: eight sets of job output and one set for the system-managed output data set.
Set 1
In STEP1, DD statement R1 explicitly references OUTPUT JCL statement OUT3. Therefore, the system produces one set of output at COMPLEX1 for DD statement R1 combined with OUTPUT JCL statement OUT3.
Set 2
In STEP1, DD statement R2 implicitly references OUTPUT JCL statement OUT4 for both of the following reasons:
  • DD statement R2 does not contain an OUTPUT parameter.
  • STEP1 contains an OUTPUT JCL statement with DEFAULT=YES.

Therefore, the system produces one set of output at COMPLEX9 for DD statement R2 combined with OUTPUT JCL statement OUT4.

Sets 3 through 8
In STEP2, DD statements B1 and B2 implicitly reference OUTPUT JCL statements OUT1 and OUT2 for all of the following reasons:
  • DD statements B1 and B2 do not contain OUTPUT parameters.
  • STEP2 does not contain an OUTPUT JCL statement with DEFAULT=YES.
  • DEFAULT=YES is specified on OUTPUT JCL statements OUT1 and OUT2.
Therefore, the system produces three sets of output each for DD statements B1 and B2:
  • Sets 3 and 4 at COMPLEX7 for DD statement B1 combined with OUTPUT JCL statement OUT1.
  • Set 5 at COMPLEX3 for DD statement B1 combined with OUTPUT JCL statement OUT2.
  • Sets 6 and 7 at COMPLEX7 for DD statement B2 combined with OUTPUT JCL statement OUT1.
  • Set 8 at COMPLEX3 for DD statement B2 combined with OUTPUT JCL statement OUT2.
Set 9
The system-managed output data set is processed locally because of the MSGCLASS parameter on the JOB statement.
