Defaults

On any of the following statements, if you do not code a COPIES parameter, code it incorrectly, or code COPIES=0, the system uses the DD COPIES parameter default of 1.
  • DD statement
  • OUTPUT JCL statement
  • For JES2, the /*OUTPUT statement
Note: In JES3 a copy count of zero in the OUTPUT JCL statement will give you a copy count of zero, not one.
