In SDSF, the action characters XDC on a job will copy the output of that job (including the JESMSGLG portion) to a dataset you will be prompted to supply.

If you want records from the SYSLOG for all system activity, go to the LOG and use these commands to specify the dataset and time span:
PRINT DATASET
PRINT hh.mm.ss hh.mm.ss
PRINT CLOSE

hi,

PRINT DATASET
PRINT hh.mm.ss hh.mm.ss
PRINT CLOSE

anyone can explain about the usage of the above lines in the log area with examples.

thanks in advance,
tamizh

1. go to SDFS LOG display
2. type PRINT DATASET in command line, press Enter
3. fill out panel

4. type PRINT 08:00:00 09:00:00 in command line, press Enter
5. type PRINT CLOSE in the command line, press Enter

See the online help and search for PRINT, cause the reference book does not describe this well.

Ram, please confirm that you are using the LOG option of SDSF.

My earlier instructions said to type PRINT DATASET in the command line of the syslog display. Do not include 'name' as part of the command.

Hi Pedro,
can this be done in a batch job ? I tried the following code but
output is been written to DDname SYS00001 or SYS00002.

gcicchet,

Try without parenthesis:

Hi Pedro,
without the paranthesis it worked fine.

Thanks.

This might assist Kevin in a later thread "SDSF and SYSLOG"
