Try doing repeated fwrite() of small records to a data set with large BLKSIZE while doing "tail -f" from another job.
The KSDS method sounds promising. I'm entirely VSAM-naive. Thinking further on the idea of a Rexx logger, I don't know that there's a good way to handle the SIGHUP. And there's still the hazarrd that the SIGHUP arrives right during the write(). Serialization required. That's a job for semaphores. I see no Rexx SYSCALL semaphore support. But the logger itself could rotate the log files itself, daily. And thee reporter could run a few minutes later by crontab; verify that the log has ben renamed (error handling?) and generate the report. Or the logger itself could generate the report once daily. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
