Well, I went home yesterday without making much progress and then returned to work this morning to find that the darned thing had sprung in to life!
I've now got four 'offload' files (is that the right terminology? Files with names like "xxxxxxxx.SYSPLEX.OPERLOG.A0000000"), and using IEAMDBLG actually produces a data file and goes to RC0. A 'W L' command in SDSF produces a SYSLOG file on my Hold queue, that contains a single line with the message "IEE042I SYSTEM LOG DATA SET INITIALIZED". My only misgiving at present is that IEAMDBLG can only 'see' data up to midnight yesterday/today. Any attempt to retrieve data beyond that point results in a U0001 abend again. I'm not too worried about that, since 'data up to midnight' exactly fits my requirements. I'll keep an eye on the situation and make sure that I can retrieve for today when tomorrow comes around. Thank you all for the help, comments and pointers - things appear to be going as expected (for now!)
