I'm wondering if you can use PARM='SDB=INPUT' (or YES) to get IEBGENER to copy EVENTLOG?
I'd try to test this myself on our sandbox z/OS 2.2 system but we're not generating EVENTLOG datasets, even though JES2 checkpoint is at Z22 level and JOBDEF SUP_EVENTLOG_SMF is set to NO. Scratching my head there. Oh, and the SDSF manual doesn't list any field in the JDS (Job Data Set) panel that provides block-size information, only RECFM and LRECL, so I don't think you can get that.

We just got our z/OS 2.2 system up. So I regression tested an EXEC that unloads the spool files of a job to UNIX files. It uses IEBGENER to copy each DDNAME allocated by SDSF to a UNIX file. It specifies no DCB attributes on SYSUT2, leaving it to IEBGENER to copy to SYSUT2 those supplied by SDSF. I see a spool file I've never seen before: stepname JES2, ddname EVENTLOG, which fails with: 7 8 EVENTLOG: RECFM=U LRECL=32760 CHARS=****,****,****,**** IEC141I 013-68,IFG0196L,user,$STCTSO1,SYS00196 IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=013 REASON CODE=00000068 TIME=14.50.12 SEQ=00083 CPU=0000 ASID=0063 PSW AT TIME OF ERROR 075C1000 80A26336 ILC 2 INTC 0D NO ACTIVE MODULE FOUND NAME=UNKNOWN DATA AT PSW 00A26330 - 4100302C 0A0D010D A7E5014B SDSF "SE" opens it OK with profile: =PROF> ....ISFEDIT (VARIABLE - 32760)....RECOVERY ON....NUMBER OFF.... Why is this breaking IEBGENER? (I don't know how to extract BLKSIZE from SDSF.) Might it be because IEBGENER might be DCBE-ignorant? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
