Kosulu,
I mean SYSOUD only. I saw this DD name in one my procs and it not defined as a ddname in the program.

Vreddy, my guess is that Kolusu is right, and SYSOUD is a spelling mistake in your procedure. Does it appear to be a print file?
Cheers,
Merv

Maybe it's for a called sub-program. Many IBM utilities allow the specification of alternate DD names when called as sub-programs. This is to eliminate conflicts.
If you run the job and the select with '?' in SDSF is anything there on that DD?

At a former place of employment, they had a standard that all displays from a COBOL program be written to ddname SYSOUD. The SYSOUT ddname was reserved for messages coming from the SORT program.
The COBOL compiler has an option called OUTDD. This allows you to specify an alternate ddname for display messages. The shop in question had a global override in their compile procs that said:
Vreddy:
Please check one of your compile listings and see what the setting for the OUTDD compile option is. If it says (SYSOUD) then you have your answer. |

As an alternate to COBOL's OUTDD(ddname) option, you can send the COBOL messages to SYSOUT and send DFSORT's messages to an alternate ddname using DFSORT's MSGDDN=ddname option.
