So Logrec has two types of sysprogs using it the ones that want to know everything that is going on - read it hourly (i use to do that)
the ones that only look at it when it is associated with a problem. (i do that now.) If your shop has a lot of issues with software and/or hardware, then reviewing logrec is helpful. There is a tool called LOGGER that that helps with reviewing logrec online. I am not sure where that REXX is but I think you should be able to find it in an IBM Tools area. If you do not have a lot of software or hardware issue, then you might want to revisit what should be done about logrec. I have it in a offloaded GDG and rarely look at it. When I had physical cartridge tape, I needed to see how bad the errors were on the tapes. Now that i have virtual tape, I hardly look at it at all.
