Am I thinking inside a box?!

Most likely, yes. You must specify the SYSOUT class for IEBCOPY on the XMIT command. XMIT allocates and frees the SYSOUT data set for IEBCOPY. XMIT does not use a definition you have allocated yourself.

In addition, you must locate a "dummy" SYSOUT class in your installation, either by analyzing the JES2 startup parameters as I did, or by using $D OUTCLASS(x) commands until you find a "dummy" SYSOUT class.

Select all

$HASP842 OUTCLASS(Z)
$HASP842 OUTCLASS(Z) OUTPUT=DUMMY,BLNKTRNC=YES,
$HASP842 OUTDISP=(HOLD,HOLD),TRKCELL=YES

Select all

h xmit op(sysout)

SYSOUT You may request the TRANSMIT command to direct
utility program messages (e.g. IEBCOPY) to a
specific sysout class or to your terminal. If
you specify SYSOUT(*), you will receive all
utility program messages on your terminal.

*** Added later: my bad. You already did. You specify the SYSOUT class on the XMIT and RECEIVE commands

XMIT ... SYSOUT(X)
RECEIVE ... SYSOUT(X)

Hi

I know this is an old thread, but I didn't see a solution to this so I thought I would provide one for anybody trying to suppress the IEBCOPY messages from XMIT or RECEIVE.

The answer is to use the SYSOUT parm on the transfer/receive. Now if you simply want to discard those messages set the output class to one that is a 'throw away' class at your site, otherwise the output will be written to the output class you specify.

Select all

TRANSMIT DSNAME('your dsname') OUTDSN('Output.DSN') PDS NOLOG SYSOUT(C) MEMBERS(*)
 

If output class C at your site isn't a 'throw away' class then the output will be under your TSO name in the class C output class

Obviously change the options as desired. Members can be omitted if the entire PDS is going to be transmitted.

Again, sorry to add to an old thread, but it does solve the original question in what is, hopefully, in an easy to follow way.
