I can imagine how this could be done in the Q/B SAM code since it was being done for TAPE.  I haven't gone to look in the DCB and related C/Bs to see where the data gets stored from the JCL at execution time.

But, yes, a cust biz case could probably drive this one. It is an interesting idea since C:D was dealing with similar issues for file xfers between partners using disparate architectures.

Just say'n'.

That keyword is not supported on SYSOUT and the documentation seems to imply 
that it is only used for tape access.

To enhance the support to include SYSOUT (and other data sets) would still need 
an idea to be raised and for developers in the JCL/Allocation component to 
assess the implications and potential risks and benefits.

Assuming that there is a good business case to specify CCSID for a traditional 
data set (ie not a Unix path and file), I imagine that would need a new JCL 
keyword on the DD statement to specify it. After all, under the covers SYSOUT 
is just a data set for all intents and purposes, it just has a related 
subsystem.

Not new. Such a JCL keyword on the DD statement already exists::
