JOBCLASS, OUTPUT and many other parms only get changed via cold start or operator command. So changing the parms and IPLing does nothing. I've also seen on many occasions where someone (with authority) accidentally over types a modifiable field in SDSF for one of these parameters and things stop working as expected. The take away here is to always issue a JES2 display command to find the active parameters and if you want to make changes, always harden them in the parms as well.
