With 22,807,898 lines in the file, it took a lot of 'inspection' to understand why our log print program was getting S0C7. The intrusive user junk always starts with 'J E S 2 J O B L O G'. OTOH every true syslog record seems to have an alpha character in position 1 that can be found with "f p'@' 1 word". Hence the relevant line numbers can be found easily with alternating ISPF browse commands. But very hard to turn into a simple algorithm.
