Options that apply to print operations

The FORM NUMBER and SYSOUT CLASS fields in the operation options, combined with the job or started-task name, identify the JES output group that you want to track. The operation is marked as complete when an output group with a matching job name, form number, and SYSOUT class has either completed printing or been purged from the spool.

Ensure that the combination of job or started-task name, form number, and SYSOUT class is unique to the print data set that you want to monitor. If this is not the case, the print operation might be marked as complete when another print data set, which matches the selection criteria, is printed or purged.

If some of your jobs or started tasks conditionally create output, or if FREE=CLOSE is specified on the SYSOUT DD statement, consider specifying PRTCOMPLETE(YES) in the JTOPTS initialization statement.
