I'm going to try something ...time passes... I have personally verified your assertion! On my sandbox, *MASTER* showed a STEP name of JES2. I created an IEFBR14 proc and did a S IEFBR14,SUB=MSTR. I then did a W L to spin off the SYSLOG. *MASTER* now shows two entries for the ? command display. One with the STEP name of JES2, and a new one with a STEP name of IEFBR14. Which, of course, leads to the next question: Why does it do that? Yes, we're getting into the undocumented internals. But I am still curious. I guess *MASTER* is using some sort of dynamic allocation interface to JES2. I don't see an SSI type call. But SVC 99 must have something "under the covers" to talk to JES to allocate a new SYSOUT data set. -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
