Archival Selection Criteria

The initialization parameters shown in the following table are available for specifying the criteria used for selecting SYSOUT for archival.

CLSL

Specifies a character string made up of one to eight SYSOUT classes.

DEST

Specifies the Destination.

FORM

Specifies the Forms name.

You can specify each parameter. If you specify more than one parameter, the SYSOUT must meet all the specifications for it to be archived.

For example, suppose you specify MSGCLASS=P on the JOB statements for all production jobs at your site, and the reports produced by the jobs are output to SYSOUT classes C, D, E, F, and G. To archive the production JCL listings, specify:

CLSL=P

To archive the production reports, specify:

CLSL=CDEFG

If you wanted to archive only production reports destined to be printed at remote 10, specify:

CLSL=CDEFG
DEST=RMT10

CA View receives its SYSOUT from JES similar to that of a printer. If a printer is set with the same attributes as the CA View archival criteria, the printer and CA View compete for SYSOUT from JES. Therefore, ensure that none of your printers is set to the CA View archival criteria; otherwise, some of your SYSOUT is printed directly, rather than passed to CA View for archival.
