Back reference SYSOUT DD JES data set

Kindly refer to PMR case number TS014415883

This will be useful when second step can back reference to the SYSPRINT from first step, done some filtering and produce the desire output in second step, whilst still able to see the actual output in first step.

Currently the only way to perform this is to produce the output in first step to dataset, and second step the reference to the dataset for first step's output, which is less efficient and slow.

    "This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan.



    The requested function can be accomplished via JCL by sending the output data to a data set (likely temporary) instead of to "SYSOUT=x" which designates a printer as output. This data set can be specified as input to later programs in the the job. and it can finally be printed in the same job via IEBGENER, or equivalent utility or program. The output DD in the step that prints the data would specify "SYSOUT=x" where "x" designates a printer class.
