  FPA does not have the function of dynamic allocation for SYSOUT
  DD.
  

Problem conclusion

• FPA is modified to allocate SYSOUT DD dynamically, if SYSOUT DD
  statement is not specified in the JCL statement when the data
  set is necessary.
  FPA dynamically allocates the data set by using SYSOUT=*.

   The description of SYSOUT DD is changed as follows:
  
   SYSOUT DD
  
    This is an optional DD statement. This data set is required
    as an output data set for DFSORT when DFSORT is needed.
    This output data set contains the messages that are produced
    by DFSORT.
  
    Notes on dynamic allocation:
    When DFSORT is needed and this statement is not specified
    in the JCL statement, FPA dynamically allocates the data
    set by using SYSOUT=*.
