But that doesn't keep it running as a multi-step STC.  You'll see this message:

IEF188I PROBLEM PROGRAM ATTRIBUTES ASSIGNED  

My syslog collection process runs the external writer as a multi-step STC. 
The first step is the external writer, then the next step splits the syslogs
from each LPAR in the MAS into their own files [1] on disk, the next step
copies those to tape (longer retention), the next step runs the OPERLOG
offload program - IEAMDBLG and the final step copies the operlog from
disk to tape.

[1]  I had to write a REXX program to separate the syslogs in the MAS
into separate files after a logical consolidation left me no available output
classes to use keep each system in the MAS unique.   So all systems
write the syslog to class L, and I separate them later.
