Is there a way to override sysprint length?

SYSPRINT DD's are usually defined by utilities and 3rd party products, and they 'usually' have a 'dedicated FD definition'. I imagine that you have to read the doc's for each utility to determine if the 'SYSPRINT' record length is 'parmable'.

Most of the times that I have tried it with utilities, it did not work.

As far as I am aware SYSPRINT is the OS's file and is therefore defined there. I've been told to never open and close SYSPRINT because the system may have written messages to it before your program gets control and you might need those messages for debugging.
