Hello,

Files 1, 3, 4, and 5 may have information you need to see. Most of the time looking at file 4 is a good place to start - that is where your compile errors will be found.

File 2 should be constant as all of your compiles should run from system standard jcl. Rarely, you may want/need to look at file 2.

Hello,

To print a job, you "release" it from held output status.
