The LISTCAT command’sOUTFILE parameter points to the OUTDD DD statement. Only the LISTCAToutput is written to the alternate output device. JCL statements, systemmessages, and job statistics are written to the SYSPRINT output device.– DSN=LISTCAT.OUTPUT specifies the name for the magnetic tape file.– UNIT=3480 and VOL=SER=TAPE10 specifies that the file is to be containedon magnetic tape volume TAPE10.– LABEL=(1,NL) specifies that this is the first file on a nonlabeled tape. You canalso use a standard labeled tape by specifying LABEL=(1,SL). If subsequentjob steps produce additional files of LISTCAT output on the same tapevolume, you should increase the file number in each job step’s LABELsubparameter (that is, LABEL=(2,NL) for the second job step, LABEL=(3,NL)for the third job step, etc.)– DISP=(NEW,KEEP) specifies that this is a new tape file and is to be rewoundwhen the job finishes. If a subsequent job step prints the tape,DISP=(NEW,PASS) should be specified. If your job step contains more thanone LISTCAT command, use DISP=(MOD,KEEP) or DISP=(MOD,PASS) toconcatenate all of the LISTCAT output in one sequential file.– DCB=(RECFM=VBA,LRECL=125,BLKSIZE=629) specifies that the LISTCAToutput records are variable-length, blocked 5-to-1, and are preceded by anANSI print control character.SYSPRINT DD, which is required for each access method services job step. Itidentifies the output queue, SYSOUT=A, on which all LISTCAT output andsystem output messages are printed (unless the OUTFILE parameter and itsassociated DD statement is specified—see OUTDD above).Note: If you want all output to be written to an auxiliary storage device, replaceX'OUTDD' with X'SYSPRINT' in the OUTDD DD statement and omit theSYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A statement.vSYSIN DD, which specifies, with an asterisk (*), that the statements that followare the input data statements. A ’/*’ ends the input data statements.The LISTCAT command parameters shown in the preceding example are commonto the LISTCAT examples that follow. Other LISTCAT parameters are coded witheach example and the output that results is illustrated. These two parameters areoptional:Appendix B. Interpreting LISTCAT Output Listings 377
