Write to SYSOUT as an ESDS

An ESDS UDB that is actually a SYSOUT data set (z/OS systems only), allocated dynamically using the ALLOCATE command, does not require initialization and therefore this processing is bypassed. SYSOUT data sets can therefore be written directly from NCL procedures without an initialization record appearing on the output.

Notes:

• Your product does not load alternate indexes. You must do this using the IDCAMS BLDINDEX function.
• The Dataset Services SUBMIT option provides a simpler way of creating SYSOUT data sets.
  For more information about Dataset Services options, see the Network Control Language Reference Guide.
