For those of us who are mentally challenged, where might I find sample JCL, and instructions on how to extract the system log information to a file for a given time frame?

Member names, and manual names (perhaps chapters too?) would be helpful.

I have a level 2 support staff member asking me to provide such a file for their diagnostic efforts on my PMR.

I'm not a systems programmer.  Though I wish I had the training.

Thanks,

Everyone,

I had a dummy attack. It occurred to me later that I might use a PRINT ODSN command from the SDSF LOG screen. I've extracted that information to a file and packaged it up for the IBM staffer.

Is there a better way to do this? I have heard that folks tend to offload the system log records to files from time to time. I've had an offer of sample JCL to extract data from those offloaded files. (I certainly appreciated the offer/help). I'm hoping that it might be easy enough to identify the system log dataset and pull data from it directly. I have no idea whether or not this can be done. If yes, then it would certainly be easier to extract this data in a raw format rather than to have to rely on the PRINT ODSN method.

Kindly advice and pointers would be welcome.

Thanks,
Mark
