Specifying default output routing on input devices

You can specify the default print and punch destination on the readers through which the system receives the job, using the following statements:

RDR(nn) PRTDEST= ,PUNDEST= for local readers.
R(nnnnn).RD(m) PRTDEST= ,PUNDEST= for remote readers.
For INTRDR(nn) specifying a destination by way of JCL (DEST=).

(If you do not specify the default print and punch destination, the default output routing becomes the destination associated with the input device.)

In the case of an internal reader, the DEST= parameter for the internal reader allocation determines the default print and punch destination. If the DEST= parameter does not specify a destination for the internal reader, the destination for the output is the location that originally submitted the job. For example, you can submit a job on NODEA and route it for execution on NODEB. The output, however, returns to NODEA unless you specified the DEST= parameter as NODEB or some other location.

You can use JCL with either the /*ROUTE statement or the DEST= subparameter in the DD SYSOUT statement to specify a particular device.
