Real FORTRAN types will know the unit number assignments better than I
do, but unit 5 was traditionally the card reader and unit 6 was
traditionally the line printer.? (Unit numbers for paper tape reader and
card punch, anyone?)
This means that most OS FORTRAN programs require a DD of FT06F001 to be
allocated - to the terminal in TSO is usually good, while to SYSOUT in
batch is usually good.
For TSO, FT05F001 would also be allocated to the terminal in the usual case.
IIRC, SUPRTREK will not run unless FT06F001 is allocated.
For PL/I, SYSPRINT is the default print/report DD name, although for
"modern" levels other DD names may be used for the underlying Language
Environment input (default options etc.) and output (abends. etc.).?
Even so, the default "print" output from the application goes to
SYSPRINT unless another DD is specifically requested.
If a PL/I programmer gets thirsty, does he/she drink a SYSPINT of their
favourite beverage?
(A reference to PL/I's habit of first 4 plus last 3 characters of an
external reference making up the 7-character-linited name used by PL/I
internally.? I suppose I'm the only one who thinks that's funny... :(? )
Cheers,
