hi all,

recently while sending a report to sysout , i got S722 abend .
S722 abend means number of records exceeds the default line limitations of SYSOUT.

then i set OUTLIM=999999
as following........
//report1 dd sysout=(4,euryuu),outlim=999999

but still then problem persisted with same S722 abend.

please let me know what should be done to overcome this problem.

Thanx in advance

Pzmohanty,

Writting a million records to the spool is not a good idea. Remember that the spool is a shared resource , which is used by every job in the system. If every single starts writting a million records to the spool, you are filling up the spool datasets. once you fill up the spool datasets , it not only stops your job, but also every single job in the system.

So every shop has a limit on the no: of lines written by a single job to spool.

To over come this try the following methods:

1.Try writting the report directly to a dataset. i.e allocate a dataset for the sysout DD.
