1. It's not specific to ACF2.

 2. It doesn't let you control the SYSOUT class.

Jantje pointed out what seems the sensible solution, use the ACF2 JESSPOOL 
resource class:

Using JES(2?) exits might be too much: not many shops like exits these days 
since then they need to employ clever sysprogs that know assembler to maintain. 
I'll point out that as of z/OS 2.4, IBM have begun introducing JES2 Policies 
intended to replace JES2 exits.

Another more trivial solution might be to restrict to a certain privileged set 
of users the ability to view that SYSOUT class via SDSF using 
ISFPARMS/PARMLIB(ISFPRMxx). Others would probably stop using that class if it 
doesn't do them any good.

Ant.

Subject: JES2 - stopping users from sending output to specific outputclass

We are having an issue with users using a restricted output class based on 
standards. We are looking for a way to prevent this from happening by canceling 
the job if the JCL contains SYSOUT=X.   We are an ACF2 shop but I am unaware if 
ACF2 security can limit this through a security definition. The other option is 
a possible exit.

Has anyone done this in the past and has a suggestion on the best approach?

Thanks,
Keith Costley
