Don:

Great pointer, thanks.

John M: I am not clear as to why you need this. I do not think that a system resource should be used for sending reports to . Seems dubious at best.
There are products like RMDS (and others) that would seem more apropos.

I'm not sure how much the unix style syslogs are really used on z/OS.
A more "native" solution would be to use the System Logger.

As an offshoot of something else I'm working on, I had another strange idea. Which I have not fleshed out yet. But I'd appreciate your feedback.
As most know, it is possible to create a "subsystem" which can be
referenced in a DD statement via the SUBSYS= parameter. I was wondering if it would be of any use to write such a beastie which sends the records to the UNIX syslog daemon? Of course, this wouldn't be for reports, but might be useful for a DD which is for "status message" type information. Perhaps
like those written to the MSGUSR DD in CICS.

Possible example:

//USERLOG DD SUBSYS=(SLOG,"FACILITY=LOCAL7,SEVERITY=INFO"),
// DCB=(...)

I was also thinking that the SLOG would insert the job name, job number,
and an ISO8601 format timestamp into the message.

Am I again looking for a solution to a non-existent problem? Not that it
bothers me much when I get a "wild hare".
