Write a code (REXX or Cobol) that will browse thru the CEEMSG and search for the msg log for a specific name(provided as input thru JCL) and write to a report file.

You will have to speak to Your cics support to find out about CEEMSG setup
<usually> it is an extrapartition PS dataset

You can process in any way You want,
for a simple selection of a some records even a simple ICETOOL/DFSORTmight be enough

CEEMSG may be assigned to SYSOUT dataset which makes it more
difficult for a cobol'r to just start reading.

If it is defined as a physical dataset there are issues to be concerned
about, like closing / opening the TDQ, according to the disposition
definition of TDQ.

Either way, you better check with your CICS Tech support people,
they may not like the idea of you reading the CEEMSG file, without
their assistance.

pkmurali,

you really need to talk to your CICS technical support people about
what you are trying to accomplish.
