I am not sure why you want to capture this with Rexx, but I will second the idea of using the SPIN= keyword to spin off log entries on a regular interval.
If you just want to capture to disk, you can use one of the products mentioned, or if you don't have such a product, you can create an external writer STC (external writer comes with z/OS) to capture that output class. If you are looking for particular messages in the log of the task or job, a better tool is to use an automated operations tool, many of which can invoke Rexx when trapping a specific message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
