MSGCLASS Output Written to Spool

Note: DAILY SUBSYSTEM in the above figure refers to the New Day procedure and the programs it calls.

MSGCLASS output is created for all jobs that run under JES. In installation parameter GENCLAS in member CTDPARM, you specify which classes are assigned for generic processing. You should ensure that the MSGCLASS output you want to handle is written to one of the defined generic classes as Non-Held output.

Normally, you specify to which class to assign the JCL output using parameter MSGCLASS of the JCL JOBCARD. For example:

Sample JCL Statements

//M90TEST  JOB ,IOA,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=W

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBGENER

//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=IOAP.PROD.SAMPREPS(REPORT1)

//SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=D

//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY

//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
