When I execute/run a COBOL+IMS+DB2 program, I am missing the SYSOUT from the Job Log. In SDSF the JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG DD names appear but the SYSOUT DDNAME does not appear.

I have the display statements in the program, but I am still not able to see the SYSOUT. I do have the MSGCLASS right. I even tried to use a JCL which is running correct (showing sysout etc.,) for an existing COBOL+IMS+DB2 program and modified to use my program, but still the Sysout did not appear.

Could you please help me with this...

Thanks

You DO have //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* and not pointing it to a dataset?

This is a batch program.

Yes I do have //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

Infact I tried both the above SYSOUT and also pointed to a dataset. When I point to the dataset, the dataset gets created but it is empty.

Is there any compiler option that I might be missing.

I have the following compiler options
PROCESS DATA(24),NOCMPR2,NOLIST,OFFSET and I think this is fine when I compare with an existing COBOL+IMS+DB2 program.

Thanks

Perhaps it is not processing the DISPLAY statements? Make sure the very first statement is a DISPLAY. If that doesn't appear then it isn't getting as far as your code, is my guess.

Do you have SYSPRINT? What does it say?

Actually this is an existing program and it has been running fine in Production. I modified this program with simple coding changes.

Also, I do have a SYSPRINT and even that is not appearing in the Joblog (SDSF). All I see is only JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG.

Also I have a display statement as the first statement right after the procedure division.

I am not sure what to look for...

Thanks

Geetha001,
Are you picking up the load from the correct load library. See the proclib from where you are picking the test program if it is having the test load library mentioned or not.

Finally it worked, the issue was with picking the program from the correct library. I had a incorrect library in the Endevor listing.

Thanks for all your help.
