That's odd, Gerry.
We've been using CA-VIEW and it's granddad, SAR, for years. We are at CA-VIEW
R11 at the moment and R11 has the capability to view individual SYSOUT datasets.
It looks like you're on rel. 2.0, so you're behind by one release and I don't
know for sure if that functionality was retrofitted via PTF.
To solve your problem, try this:
>From your CA-VIEW primary panel, switch to "ALL" mode instead of SARO (I don't
know, if it will make a difference, but we're all using ALL mode). Type "MODE
ALL" from the Command line, press Enter.
Your primary panel should look something like this:
CA-View ALL -- Primary Selection for YOUR.SAR.DB ---------------------------
Command ===>
Sysout ID ===> C*
Select By ===> R (R, I, IL, or IR)
Index Name ===> Value ===>
===> ===>
===> ===>
===> ===>
Selection Criteria:
Generation ===> -0:1 (*, ALL, specific (n), relative (-n),
range (n:m or -n:m))
Date ===> (specific (mm/dd/yyyy), relative (-n),
range(mm/dd/yyyy:mm/dd/yyyy or -n:m))
Selection Options: Only specify to restrict selection
Exceptions ===> X exceptions only, NX non exceptions only, AX/(blank) any
Permanent ===> P permanent only, NP non permanent only, AP/(blank) any
Enter END command to terminate this CA-View session.
Next, forget all about page indexing and other advanced stuff you might find in
the manual. In our shop, all jobs are sent to CA-VIEW simply by MSGCLASS=X and
SYSOUT=* in the JCL. No exits. No indexing. No fancy stuff. Vanilla, no
sprinkles.
To view a job and it's associated SYSOUT datasets, be sure to put an "R" in the
"Select By" field.
Press Enter to pull up the SYSOUT Selection List. It'll show something like this
for me:
CA-View ALL --------------- Sysout Selection List -----------------------------
Command ===>
Sel Sysout ID Jobname Jobid Arch Date Time Loc Lines Pages Xcode
==> * * * * * * * * *
? CUKRSCA1 CUKRSCA1 J0914404 02/07/2006 07:45 DISK 1941 16
CUKRSCA1 CUKRSCA1 J0894475 02/06/2006 07:19 DISK 1939 16
CUKRSCA5 CUKRSCA5 J0914670 02/07/2006 07:30 DISK 2186 16
To view the entire job's SYSOUTs in one session, type an "S" into the Sel
column.
To see the list of individual SYSOUT datasets, select one of the jobs with a
question mark "?", press Enter.
If your release of CA-VIEW supports it, you should get something like this:
CA-View ALL ------------------- Data Set List --------------
Command ===>
ID ---> CUKRSCA1
Job ---> CUKRSCA1 Jobid ---> J0914404
Sel DDname Stepname Procstep DSID Lines Pages
JESMSGLG JES2 2 52 1
JESJCL JES2 3 473 1
JESYSMSG JES2 4 1031 1
SYSPRINT PRESCAN 112 77 3
SYSOUT SORTJOB SORT 114 31 1
S SYSOUT SORTPSW SORT 115 31 1
SYSOUT SORTDSL SORT 116 31 1
SYSOUT SORTDSV SORT 117 31 1
Each of these SYSOUTs is individually selectable by putting an "S" in the Sel
field.
Hope that answers your question. If not, feel free to ask.
