				| 
 |  
				| I want to control output destination conditionally in my jcl.  Is this possible?  For example, I have a job that  runs for many clients.  For some clients, they want output on paper, for others we still want the output, just not to paper.  Can I do this using one jcl? |  |

				| Ptf, 
 Add a IEBGENER step at the end to route the output to a printer. In the pgm You can set the return code depending on the client And use this return code to skip the print step.
 
 Hope this helps...
 
 Cheers
 
 Kolusu

				| Kolusu, His requirement can be met in one step itself. For example,
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | //OUT1 OUTPUT DEST=paper
 //OUT2 OUTPUT DEST=printer
 .
 .
 .
 .
 .
 //DS DD SYSOUT=C,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1,*.OUT2)
 
 | 
 
 The OUT1 and OUT2 will be defined after the jobcard.
