Just the type of messages that will be sent there.

Some programs put messages out to SYSPRINT, other to SYSOUT, some to BOTH depending on the type of message.

Ravi,

SYSPRINT is basically an output data set which contains informational and error messages for that particular program/utility.some of the utilities which uses sysprint as output dataset are IDCAMS, EASYTRIEVE,DB2 Utilities...

SYSOUT is an system output dataset whose attributes are defined during JES initialization.It also contains informational and error messages as well any display statements in your COBOL program.Utilities like SORT will route their error and informational messages to sysout.

Take a look at the following link for better understanding of SYSOUT.

Hope this helps...

cheers
