Description

This parameter defines the destination for the root job's standard output. Child jobs assume that PARENT is specified in this option. If this option is omitted, the root job assumes that SPOOL is specified in this option.

If the adshexec command is executed with the -s option specified, the -s option takes precedence over this parameter.

If the root job is running in the simple output mode or the minimum output mode (specified by the OUTPUT_MODE_ROOT parameter or the -m option of the adshexec command), the standard output that was set when the process started is inherited regardless of the specification of the OUTPUT_STDOUT parameter or the -s option of the adshexec command.

• SPOOL

  Sets the root job's standard output to a file on the spool.

• PARENT

Notes

• If this parameter is defined in both the system environment file and the job environment file, the definition in the job environment file takes effect.
