Description
The name, from a FILEDEF or a JCL file assignment, of an output file
OUTPUT is a character string parameter. It is specified alongside the INPUT parameter to support a BSAM device.
OUTPUT and INPUT must match the names from FILEDEF or JCL file assignments:
The following z/OS example shows DD statements and user parameter lines for IODEV 3:
//IO301I DD DSN=M204.IODEV3.INPUT,DISP=SHR //IO301O DD SYSOUT=A . . . IODEV=3,INPUT=IO301I,OUTPUT=IO3010
The following z/VSE example shows ASSGN and DLBL statements and a user parameter line for a BSAM device:
// ASSGN SYS010,02E // DLBL BSAMIN,'M204.BSAM.INPUT' // EXTENT ... . . . IODEV=3,INPUT=BSAMIN,OUTPUT=SYS010,POLLNO=1 - NOTERM=1
From V7.5 onwards, the OUTPUT parameter can be set to DUMMY to "dummy out" any output and to avoid having to define an output FILEDEF, DLBL, or DD statement. For example:
//IO301I DD DSN=M204.IODEV3.INPUT,DISP=SHR . . . IODEV=3,INPUT=IO301I,OUTPUT=DUMMY
