Problem:
AcuSort external tool writes all execution information in a log text file called SYSOUT. Is it possible to prevent the creation of this file?
Resolution:
The only environment variable about SYSOUT file is "dd_SYSOUT". This setting allows changing the default name SYSOUT to a more personalized one.
i.e.: set dd_SYSOUT=my-sysout-file
This variable can be also used to redirect the AcuSort log information to a nul queue, thus avoiding the creation of an undesidered file.
This is the syntax to use in any Windows environment:
set dd_SYSOUT=nul
and this on a Linux/UNIX platform:
export dd_SYSOUT=/dev/null
The dd_SYSOUT is an environment variable and is not recognized when set inside a runtime configuration file.
If the AcuSort tool is used within a COBOL program and executed via C$SYSTEM, use this statement before the C$SYSTEM, instead:
SET ENVIRONMENT "dd_SYSOUT" TO "/dev/null"
i.e.: set dd_SYSOUT=my-sysout-file
