SYSPRIN2 data sets

The SYSPRIN2 data set is an optional output data set that contains the utility's messages.

With the exceptions noted in this section, the content is identical to the content of the SYSPRINT data set.

SYSPRIN2 is not a substitute for SYSPRINT. If you include an SYSPRIN2 DD statement in your JCL, you must still include an SYSPRINT DD statement.

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).

In a worklist environment, you can specify SYSPRIN2 DD SYSOUT=* to view output in real-time from any of the BMC Utility products that run in that worklist.

Note the following considerations if you direct SYSPRIN2 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.

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