Hi,

  I have got a common C module running on OS/390 , which will write to
separate DD SYSOUT files (for different programmes).

We have setup separate DDs for each transaction/programmes
(for ex:
//PROGAOUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN= MVSSYS.SUMMIT.OUTPUTA defined in the
startup job of the WLM) , so that the common C module will write to
those SYSOUT DDs depending on whatever DD name is passed into it.

The module is running in the WLM of DB2 .

Question is, once the DDs have been setup by the system programmers,
how do I write to each DD ? i.e. Can i just issue a
fopen("DD:PROGAOUT","a+") , which will do the trick?

Please note that each caller to this C programme will pass in the DD
name (PROGAOUT in this case).

Please advise.
