Can we have a job point to two systems using the USER keyword?

Hello,

I have no idea what you are asking. . .

It may help if you post some information or jcl or anything else that will clarify your question.

What is it that you are trying to do?

My job has to access two datasets from different systems. So i am looking to provide the USER keyword pointing to more than one application. is this possible?

Hi,

Sorry not to disappoint you but both the posts from you don't support each other & subject line takes me totally in differnt direction..

Let's go by subject line: yes that's posible you can have dedicated SYSOUT classes setup which will map to different systems.

If I go by your posts - I don't happen to understand how do you percept "USER" keyword of JCL, may be this link can provide some hint:

Hello,

If the datasets are on shared dasd, there should be no issue with "the USER keyword pointing to more than one application".

Users typically do not point to even one application. . .

As i mentioned before, more information would probably help - especially the jcl you want to use.
