what is the purpose of SYSOUT parameter in the DD statement?..

Answer / robin

SYSOUT is used to give the output of the program executed in
the step. WHatever the output is there, it can be printed in
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=*
