Charles,

A couple things to check.  Is there anything in the SYSLOG showing what 
happened to the task?  

Check your JES2PARM member of parmlib.  In there, you should find a 
JOBCLASS(STC) stanza.   What does that show for LOG, MSGCLASS, MSGLEVEL, 
OUTDISP and OUTPUT?

Subject: [External] Where do started PROC errors go?

I have a program that runs successfully in a job. I just cloned the JCL 
appropriately into a PROC. When I issue a START for the PROC I get a started 
message and an ended message but no clue as to why it failed. (It is supposed 
to be long-running, so ending is a failure.) I don't think it is a JCL error 
because I get a JCL error message in that case, and I have evidence that it 
actually ran "some."

The PROC includes //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=H. (H is a held class.) I have strong 
evidence that the program is getting far enough that it would have written 
several lines to SYSTSPRT. 

I see nothing in SDSF, even with PREFIX * and OWNER *. 

Where is my output going? How do I determine that? How do I view it?

There is nothing in the PROC statement: //procname PROC and no operands on the 
START other than the PROC name. The program is IKJEFT01 and a Rexx EXEC FWIW. 
Again, it works in a job.

Thanks,
Charles
