SYSOUT. If SYSOUT is followed by DD and a dataset name, the
output is stored in that file, and if SYSOUT is followed by
DD and *, output is shown in spool itself.
The two types of statements are given below :-

SYSOUT DD DSN=dataset.name

or

SYSOUT DD DSN=*

I have a Symbolic Parameter which can have a value say 01 or 02 etc. Now consider i have another Symbolic parameters which is used to get 3 digit code of months (JAN, FEB, etc) but for that i need to check the first symbolic parameter's value and provide its corresponding month's name in the second symbolic parameter. Say IF sym1 = 01 then sym2='Jan' ENDIF etc... In JCL, IF condition is used for RC, ABEND purposes of a step etc. When i use Symbolic parameter in IF clause it is showing Error message. Is there a way to get the above result possible in JCL. If you could provide me with an example, i would understand it better.
