SYSPRINT data sets

The SYSPRINT data set is the output data set that contains the utility’s messages. The utility always requires the SYSPRINT data set.

Important

You should not depend on the content and format of this data set (for example, as input to user-defined processes). Message content and format are subject to change without notice.

The utility overrides any data control block attributes that you specify in your JCL with DCB=(RECFM=VBA, LRECL=137, BLKSIZE=141).

Note the following considerations if you direct SYSPRINT to a tape or disk data set:

  • The DSN messages from Db2 are lost.
  • We do not recommend using the BUFNO parameter on the DD statement for this data set.

Note the following restrictions on SYSPRINT data sets in your DSNUTILB reorganizations:

  • Do not specify FREE=CLOSE.
  • You cannot use a PDS or PDSE.

For information about the level of messages that the utility displays and how to change the message level, see the description for the MSGLEVEL utility parameter.
