Examples:
On MVS, &SYSPRINT_DSN might be assigned a value such as:
IBMAPC.IBMAPCA.JOB6734.D12.?
On CMS, &SYSPRINT_DSN might be assigned a value such as:
SAMPLE LISTING A1
Notes:
1. If the LISTING user exit provides the listing data set information then the value
in &SYSPRINT_DSN is the value extracted from the Exit-Specific Information
block described in the HLASM Programmer's Guide.
2. The value of the type attribute of &SYSPRINT_DSN (T'&SYSPRINT_DSN) is
always U.
3. The value of the count attribute of &SYSPRINT_DSN (K'&SYSPRINT_DSN) is
equal to the number of characters assigned as a value to &SYSPRINT_DSN.
