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
