PTEXT in the SYSOUT ID Hierarchy

The following list shows the hierarchy used by CA View and ERO to determine the SYSOUT ID for a report other than a CA Deliver report:

• If the started task user exit (SARSTCUX) is coded to assign a SYSOUT ID not equal to the job name, that SYSOUT ID is used and it overrides all of the following items in this list.
• If the SYSOUT DD statement has an external writer name not equal to the job name, the writer name is assigned as the SYSOUT ID. If a dollar sign precedes the writer name, the writer name (excluding the dollar sign) is appended to the job name, and the result is assigned as the SYSOUT ID. This overrides all of the following items in this list.
• If the text specified in the PTEXT1 through PTEXT5 ERO initialization parameters is found in the report data, the SYSOUT ID is assigned based on characters extracted from the data.
• If none of the above is found, the job name of the job that creates the report is the SYSOUT ID.
