That seems to be contradicted by
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=syntax-transmit-command>:
OUTDDNAME | OUTFILE
A pre-allocated file used as the output data set for the TRANSMIT command.
TSO/E does not write any data to SYSOUT. The data set has the following
DCB attributes: LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120, RECFM=FB.
At the very least, a clarification of the meaning of "has" is needed.
