The
FLUSHSYSOUT option controls the ability to view the progress of an active spool job.
Syntax:
FLUSHSYSOUT
=
{
ON
}
{
OFF
}
Parameters:
- ON
- For active spool jobs, the buffer is flushed after each record is written, allowing you to view the contents of the spool
file as the job is in progress.
- OFF
- The buffer is flushed only when it is full, before which the contents of the spool file cannot be viewed. This option is more
performant.
Note: The buffer size is determined by SEQDATBUF, and if that is not specify, a buffer size of 4096 bytes is used.
