Hi All; I have an unusual request from my user. He wants to keep three months of SYSLOG on the spool in one logically contiguous piece and every week, he wants to dump the oldest week to a GDG, leaving the rest there in a single spool dataset. It's rather like a logger scenario. I have never heard of anyone wanting this, let alone implementing it but, hey, that's what makes life so interesting.
One could imagine a program that does this, it would have to read and write the oldest week's records to the GDG and then copy the remaining records to the start of the file and reset the end of file marker, all without JES worrying his pretty little head about it. Fairly tricky I should think. Any thoughts/ideas/droll comments would be much appreciated.
