hi, my friend
this is my jcl code for print a member:
//lxw039prJOB 21500,'lxw039',                                         
//        CLASS=T,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID             
/*JOBPARM L=9,R=B040,T=0                                               
/*ROUTE PRINT p405                                                 
                                       
//*output to local printer
//PRT1   EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                                             
//SYSIN    DD DUMMY                                                     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=TS.lxw039.SOURCE(cal1000)                         
//          DISP=SHR                                                   
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=T                                                   
//           

what does it mean "sysout=t"? thank you very much!

Output class=T is whatever your site defines it to be.

It may:
- direct print to a particular printer
- feed a sysout archiving product
- be a "held" class that never prints

You need to ask there.

IEBGENER requires a SYSIN, so it must be present. The exception might be if your site substitutes another program such as ICEGENER (from DFSORT) then you may get away with it. You can always try it!

You've had many simple questions posted. You need to get familiar with the IBM documentation online so you can look up abend code and messages yourself. Here is the site for manuals online: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/
