OUTFILE

The OUTFILE keyword points to the output file. The default value is SYSUT1O. However, this may have been changed by updating the installation option, &BAT_INFILE. The OUTFILE and INFILE can have different file organizations. OUTFILE is only valid with the COPY and UPDATE commands.

OUTFILE's ddname is built from the first seven characters of the INFILE's ddname, when present, or from the installation option &BAT_INFILE. OUTFILE's ddname is those seven characters with an O appended to it.
