Multiple OUTPUT statements can be coded for 1 single job step.

The OUTPUT statement can be used to control the authorisation of the submitting user,

The OUTPUT statement at job level must be coded before the JOB statement.

The OUTPUT statement can not override the MSGCLASS parameter on the JOB statement.
