OK, I understand Allan's point about there being no benefit in using CFs with DASDONLY, but I'd put that consideration to one side since - as I say - I'm working with a MONOPLEX and so I don't expect to be sharing anything. I just want to make use of the facility.
I've already put a fair amount of work in to gathering SMF data in a logstream and the result works fine - & is far easier to work with that the old-style MANx files IMHO. With regard to the OPERLOG, that is all the SYSLOGs that are being collected all in one place, right? Well, in my situation, I can't see any difference between the SDSF OPERLOG and the SDSF SYSLOG displays. Which makes sense to me. I've only got one source. Kees is right - I want to be able capitalise on the "...easier to process, search, keep for a longer period..." bits. I want to fully automate the collection of my SYSLOG in daily files. I've currently got a horrible kludgy set-up of REXX execs and ICEMAN stuff and manual interventions to do this. Having seen how much easier things were with the SMF data, I moved on to handling the SYSLOG in a similar manner. But I appear to have fallen in to a hole...
