Use SDSF (interactive or batch). Open PRINT, then PRINT * <# of lines>. and then PRINT CLOSE. Example; PRINT ODSN <dataset> ... PRINT * 200 PRINT CLOSE You will then get the last 200 lines in your dataset. Of course it depends 'when' you pressed <ENTER>, ie the SYSLOG as it is then displayed will be used as input, despite the fact that the SYSLOG has been appended between PRINT open and PRINT lines. Then use ocopy to put it to an unix folder. To Lizette: The word 'tail' is an Unix term where you send the last x lines to somewhere else. I believe there is also something like 'head' for send the first x lines to somewhere else. Generally useful with the pipe command.
