    • The JCL SYSOUT DD statement contains HOLD=YES regardless of the OUTDisp specification on the OUTCLASS(v) initialization statement.
    • The JCL OUTPUT statement contains OUTDISP=(HOLD,HOLD) or OUTDISP=(KEEP,KEEP), regardless of the OUTDisp specification on the OUTCLASS(v) initialization statement.
    • The SYSOUT parameter on the JCL DD statement specifies a class defined as held on the OUTCLASS(v) initialization statement with the OUTDisp parameter.
  • JES2 does not hold SYSOUT data sets if:
    • The JCL SYSOUT DD statement contains HOLD=NO, regardless of the OUTDisp specification on the OUTCLASS(v) initialization statement.
    • The JCL OUTPUT statement contains OUTDISP=(WRITE,WRITE), regardless of the OUTDisp specification on the OUTCLASS(v) initialization statement.
