SARBCH- Extract specific sysout

Ronny John · New User Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 33 Location: USA

I have a JCL to extract SAR log into a flat file using SARBCH utility. The SAR log has the following:
Sel DDname Stepname Procstep
XXXXXX01 FFF0200 STEP030
XXXXXX01 FFF0200 STEP060
SYSUT2 FFF0200 STEP065
SYSUT2 FFF0200 STEP065A
SYSUT2 FFF0200 STEP075
XXXXXX01 FFF0200 STEP100
YYYYYYYYY FFF0200 STEP150

I need to extract only the details from "YYYYYY" into the flat file. If i give a simple "Load ID " parameter, it loads all XXXXXX01, SYSUT2 along with YYYYYYYYY. I need to extract YYYYYYYYY alone. Help needed, any idea?

If I understood your question correctly, the SAR output is superset of what you need. I would prefer SORT product to extract the information I needed.
Let us know if this not what you were looking for.

Do you have the syntax of the command handy? I'm wondering if there is a parm to specify the DD names you want.

This almost looks like it took everything in the same sysout class.

Yes, i am looking for a syntax to extract only the spcific DD name rather than the whole dump to a flat file.

I think SARPAGE is what you are looking for.

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SARBCH
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//REPORT DD DSN=TEST.RONNY,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(BLKSIZE=0,LRECL=152,RECFM=FB),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),UNIT=DISK
//SYSIN DD *
/DBASE NAME=SAR.XXX.YYY
/LOAD ID=XYZ0250A DDNAME=REPORT

Here the DDNAME parm is used to point into which file the SAR log should be unloaded. This was the JCL i used. It unloads the entire SAR log.

So I doubt if we can give a DDNAME parm as you mentioned.

Hello,

If the manual is not sufficient, is there some reason you have not opened an issue with CA Support?

They can surely explain of what you want to do is available and if so how to do it.

Do you have a manual? please share.

No - we do not have a manual and if we did we could not share as it is copyrighted. You can get the manual from your organisation as they would have received a set with the software or you can go to CA and ask for a new set.

Hello,
I believe what you require cannot be done. I would love to be proved wrong in this case.
You could open a support ticket with CA to check if it is possible.

Skimmed the manuals but unable to find anything related to getting specific job step's output. You could also have a look at them from
support.ca.com/irj/portal/anonymous/DocumentationSearch

You can get the manuals after creating login credentials on the site, which is quite simple.

Hope it helps.

Why don't you try the PRINT command instead of load?
I tested the solution when I posted it.

vasanthz · Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 6:55 pm

agkshirsagar,
I agree your solution will work, but everytime the user has to go into the step output and look for the starting page number and ending pagenumbers and then code it in the SARBCH program.
I think this is the reason the TS was looking for an automated approach.

agkshirsagar · Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 7:10 pm

I respectfully disagree. For a job that is already implemented in production or a job that produces fixed number of output files, SARPAGE number will not change. SARPAGE is not equivalent to report page number. I mean all the report pages will be part of a single SARPAGE. At least, I haven't seen a report spanning multiple SARPAGES.
I see that the OP is trying to get a spooled report into a dataset and I think my solution fits.

dbzTHEdinosauer · Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 7:25 pm

I believe the TS is too stubborn to change his 'thinking'.

you notice he only provided an error message.

I don't think that he provided the appropriate control cards in his job to do this.

actually, I think this topic should be locked and trimmed
leaving only agkshirsagar's post.

TO Load any specific SYSOUT

you can use GEN parameter instead of JOBID, when you see in SAR PANEL there are 2 GEN parameter one is of 4 digits and another one is of three digits you need to take the four digit one and mention the sequence number with it .. Since the GEN parameter not unique alone however combination of GEN and SEQ is unique through out the report of any job...

I don't think the OP cares anymore; the topic's been inactive for over one year.. but good to see you are applying your learning to help others.
