I may do the following in a "post processing" job for my SYSLOG archiving. One thing which is "nasty" about z/OS, vs, z/VSE and other systems is that it prefers to display the calendar date as year.day-in-year. IMNSHO, this is a real PITA to people in the "real" world because nobody really much cares what day it is since the start of the year. So SYSLOG/OPERLOG's use of "yy.ddd" or "yyyy.ddd" is fairly useless, again, IMO. I do like what CA does in some of their products which would be nice to have in these facilities. They display the date as either dd/mm/yyyy.ddd or mm/dd/yyyy.ddd . I think that having a new value for HCFORMAT(...) in the CONSOLnn member would be nice. I don't really know, or particularily care, what the keyword might be to do this.
Am I again going into deep left field? Should I just say "forget it" to IBM and just do it myself? -- Rap music is performed by those that can not sing so others can not think.
